{A person cannot make a 'contribution' to Jazz, with something that you cannot define as Jazz.}
****We are talking about what led to the birth of what would be one known as jazz; and, as such, the contribution of the European classical tradition to jazz is huge.****
You seem to write a lot better than you can comprehend. I was responding to O-10's statements about how 'contributions' have changed the music beyond recognition. Today! Current music scene! Was not talking about the origin of the music.
[But I did not 'hear' the boogie woogie.]
***Jeremy Denk heard it. I heard it; loud and clear. Once again, how does the fact that a person can't hear it invalidate the fact that many others can? What is the most likely scenario: that the many that can are delusional; or, that the one that can't, simply....well....can't?***
I said I could not hear it. How did you jump to the conclusion that I thought that Invalidates any other person's opinion or ability? You have toooo much 'audiophile' in you.
You always jump to conclusions to satisfy your preconceived notions of other people. Ask 1000 people if they can hear boogie woogie, how many would answer, "yes, I can hear it"? Think about it. It's a Beethoven Sonata!!
You need to read the OP's original post. The purpose / intent of the thread.
Cheers
