Don't tell me you are trying to lure people into taking out a subscription for the WSJ...

I do find it interesting that WSJ publishes so many pieces about jazz.

My point is that unless you are a subscriber (or take out a "free one-month suscription" or some such - which of course one is liable to forget to cancel in time and then gets signed up for good) you cannot read the story beyond the first few lines. See?

I'm surprised we can still do it. It probably won't be long before the 'paywalls' have a some kind of block that directs you back to their interface.

it's much more fun and insightful to read Nicholas Payton etc. al deal with this.

Why doesn't the WSJ let him write about it

Hey, sorry about all that. Being a subscriber, I can't tell whether the links I post will allow you to read the article. I know many times they will, but sometimes the paywall gets in the way.
