And that is precisely what gives a piece of art longevity - the fact that it can be recontextualized by future audiences. That also gives the market ample opportunity to bend, twist, and outright lie in the pursuit of monetary and mental ill-gotten against. Everybody loves a lover, but never moreso when their lover is a liar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on sales, this doesn't seem to be working in the market's favor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted September 28 Report Share Posted September 28 Lincoln Center for one. Bookers of placeholders for another. And people who get paid for writing bullshit like the OP article. Control the narrative, control the product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contemporary listeners are just as capable of having visceral reactions to music as OG audiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted September 28 Report Share Posted September 28 Cash comes from grants and endowments now. Yes, since Day One. That's why there's really no excuse for getting suckered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and JALC is hardly the first stupid thing that a philanthropist has thrown his/her money at. People will be free to contextualize and recontextualize music however they please, with or without the extraneous noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither JALC nor contemporary jazz critics factor into my listening choices, so I may be underestimating their impact or influence.
