A matter of opinion.  The so called "cool jazz, avant garde, etc., are not,
in my opinion, jazz. Jazz was a synonym for "hot;"  I don't believe in
turning meanings  upside down.  I consider "modern," as appliet to art, any
art, to have too many letters - it should have only four!

Thqat's like saying "your loss that you don't like avocado, culliflower,
etc.  I beg to disagree.

But I certainly wouldn't want to sweep under the rug all the music I
haven't learned to appreciate yet.


Yet?  You must not have read my email.  or deliberately chosen to ignore
the grain and chaff part. I have some 60 years of listening behind me, and
have wasted too much of my lfie on listening to the Miles Davises of this
world.  Enough is enough, sometimes - much too much.  But then, de gustibus
non disputandum est.

 Cheers
