Points well taken, Russ. I certainly am not knocking jazz. I'm not a student of the art, but I can appreciate all the hard work, desire and dedication it takes to play and understand good jazz.
As our good friend chas said, "some people will look at Picasso's Guernica and think it's weird." Well, I can't even picture it in my head, let alone critique. I guess I must be more of a realist (is that even an art term?).
People see and interpret things in millions of different ways. I'll just return to my original statement - It's not for me.
God bless all. Peace!
