Ed Millman Washington, DC	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #1 Jul 10, 2008 I don't think that there will be much of a turnout this year either. People are more educated now, and can see "Jazz" for what it is: randomly generated noise produced by pathetic, no-talent "hipsters". It's all a sham and now finally, the world can see the trees through the noise. Jazz...fooling no one. No one will show for the "fehstivahl".
Rick Norwalk, CT	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #2 Jul 10, 2008 you could say that about any music. To those who don't understand classical, it can be perceived as noise. In fact, Jazz is not random- it adheres to the rules, occasionally bending and breaking them. Granted, much of the modern stuff isn't the most appealing to the ear. But it is like a language- in your case, you just can't understand the words.
Rick Norwalk, CT	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #3 Jul 10, 2008 "People are more educated now" If anything, people are less educated, and thus jazz has a limited following.
