> To learn he's an American Jazz critic makes perfect sense, it's almost exactly who you would expect to be this pretentious. TFA: "Most young people listen to new music and only become less interested in the current hits when they get older" "I did the exact opposite. I learned the tradition and heritage first, and only then felt I had the proper perspective for the current day." "I wasn’t quite as extreme in my music listening habits, but I still focused primarily on the tradition when I was learning how to be a pianist and critic. Today I’m much more focused on new music." All this reading and it's right over his head his "most people x when it comes to music, i am not them" deeply contrasts proceeding to devote your life to "old people music." (sorry jazz fans)
