Jazz- Not for Morons only

[Hardbopjazz]

Downbeat's 75th Anniversary issue.

This month's Downbeat magazine contains interviews of artists throughout their 75 year history. An amazing array of articles reprinted in this one. The headline for the first edition in 1939 was, "Jazz- Not for Morons only." Those who don't subscribe should pick up a copy.

I was worried until I read the headline again - Not for Morons only. Whew - I'm glad morons like me can still enjoy jazz.

To avoid ambiguity and further unnecessary offence the title of this thread needs to be changed immediately to 'Jazz: Basically, it's for Morons.'

Let's keep it friendly here and not involve the moderators unnecessarily. Those guys have enough to struggle with finding any real use for all those half-diminished chords they copied out the Jamey Aebersold books.

I don't get it. Why would Jazz be for Mormons only?

Maybe I missed something...
