I never liked jazz

Rating: Null/10 (25 April 2015)

most people don't.
Jazz is dying for that reason.
As a former drummer, if I had the choice between being the core drummer at Lincoln Center or being the drummer in a famous rock band I'd choose the latter.
Most music fans don't care how fast someone can drum and they don't care for drawn out drum solos.
Also, if there ever is another Buddy Rich or Charlie Parker, they'll be playing as unknown session musicians...there would be no fame and glory or people talking about them after they die..except for friends and family.
They had their time and their time has passed.
Great movie by the way, even though there is a massive plot hole with the JVC concert at the end..(as mentioned in this forum).
