Frogman, I understand and I agree, about the art in general.
Still, as outsider I am not quite sure what do you and Rok mean by 'ideology' ?
Obviously, your different points of view are not releted to music only, but to 'politics' in wider sense of a word.
Why would someone as
knowledgeable as Wynton claim something that is not true and with it put his reputation at stake?
Is it too much to ask that we stick to that subject and that you guys express your thoughts? Others are welcome too.
Here, where I come from, we have sort of ongoing conflict between different national and religous groups which is silly, because they are all beeing exploited by the same class of people only wearing different 'colors' (has nothing to do with race)
Just wanted to say that members of different nations (here) are trying so hard to present themself as different from another (despite sharing many, many things, including language, which is also something majority strongly deny) and that they would never publicly admit that they have anything that conects them.
Is there something like that in US going on (talking about origins of jazz music) ?
If there is some ideology behind it, I would asume that there would be more people who think like Rok, but than again, I cant imagine that somebody like Wynton would deny something so crucial for identity and heritage, not only his, but of whole nation?
