To own my own biases: nothing interesting has happened in jazz for at least a half century. I have as much use for a jazz critic as I do for a telegraph operator. (All of the really good shit in jazz is live, not on record, anyway.)
Not to mention the fact that I have about zero fucks to spare for a critic who isn't a musician.
- cbfrench 3y agoI also don’t get the sense that if anything interesting had happened, Ted would think it was worthwhile in any way, lol.
- whycome 3y ago…would not?
- cushychicken 3y agoRephrase: "Ted would not recognize an important moment in jazz if it happened in his presence."
- cbfrench 3y agoThat’s correct. I was insufficiently caffeinated when writing that comment, and clarity suffered accordingly!
- cbfrench 3y agoWould is correct there (i.e., “I don’t think Ted would think”), but my syntax is very convoluted. Thanks for the catch.
- whycome 3y agoNo your writing is technically correct. My reading comprehension was just off there
