1 comment :
Jazz still suffers from an inferiority complex to classical music; a throwback to C19th. I remember seeing Wayne Shorter perform his classical piece he'd composed to commemorate his 80th birthday. I say I saw it but I left not long in. Like others, he believes he will only be remembered if he writes for an orchestra, but his places in history are assured: they're called the Second Great Quintet, Bitches Brew and Weather Report.
I sometimes get wrong for hijacking peoples posts so apologies.
