I'd be curious to see that article and what "clubs" the author is going to. I've been to plenty of clubs in multiple cities where it's still exactly like that. You talk, eat, and drink while the music plays in the background.
The only "no talking" Jazz events I've been to are true concerts with generally hefty ticket prices.
- techopoly 8y agoI would argue that jazz is largely viewed as background music now. People go to a jazz club to...talk. If they wanted to listen to the music they'd go to a rock concert. Edit: Another thought, maybe a large segment of modern jazz is uninspired renditions of the old greats, and maybe that's why people don't give it much credence? I don't go to a lot of jazz clubs, so I can't really say. Perhaps more people would listen to modern jazz if it was so groundbreaking it knocked them off their feet...unfortunately that honor seems to go to rock, hip-hop, electronica, and such these days.
