I don't think I twisted your words by quoting you. This is the statement I wanted to address. Complacency is complicity. Your response only reinforces my original assertion - white fragility.

Sorry Dan, but your posts reek of white fragility. Identifying and calling out inequality based on race isn't racist, imo. Accusations of "reverse racism" typically underscore efforts to maintain white privilege. Efforts to include more black voices doesn't necessarily mean white voices go silent.

Am I misreading you? This is the opinion you were expressing: Your subsequent exchanges with Savoy over whether or not people of color comprise a significant portion of jazz listeners reinforces this ridiculous rationale for maintaining the status quo. In case you didn't understand my basic argument, here it is: You can't faithfully describe a cultural experience like jazz without authentic voices that speak from that culture. Other voices can add to the narrative, but they shouldn't be the predominate voice.

White guys telling other white guys about (largely) black experience? Isn't that how much of history is written? And you're okay with that? Authentic voices tell a more truthful story. I'm not talking about the skin color of the author. I'm talking about writers who help me understand the cultural and historical value of the music I love. Of course, there are writers like the OP who do an excellent job. But the absence of black and other non-white voices is troubling and in need of change.

Me too. I never knew Jaffee was a music artist, however.

As a psychologist, that would make me Dr. Strange. Cool.

Hey all, I saw this article about archive.org this morning and thought it might be of interest to others. Some members have mentioned using the site for music research, enjoyment, etc. I saw no evidence of similar challenges being made against musical content. Still ....

Oooh, Thundercat is performing!

From Wiki: "Because he was very knowledgeable about the music business and copyright laws, Gaskill was able to use that to his advantage. He claimed composer credit on Christmas songs and nursery rhymes like, Jingle Bells, Adeste Fideles, The Farmer in the Dell, and Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star."

I know there's been interest in Jay Migliori on the board. Rather than lament over an unobtainable Transition date, I'm enjoying "Equinox". It's a newly released recording from 1984 that features Jay on tenor, Conte Condoli on trumpet, Joe Lettieri on piano, Jim Crutcher on bass, and Chiz Harris on drums. Omnivore OV-513.
