In Reply to: Simple -- there aren't enough inmates who are seriously into jazz. posted by Rick W on September 26, 2014 at 09:54:18:
I think jazz was an even bigger casualty than classical music, in regard to the network media transition that took place in the late 1960s.... Like classical, there was a lot of prime time jazz on television, which the likes of John Coltrane and Miles Davis made their marks, just like Leonard Bernstein on the classical side. When the programming was snubbed suddenly and permanently after that, the masses were shielded from the artists, and then the awareness went away. A cheap imitation took over, it was never the same.
Once again, the problem wasn't the product or even the audience.... The problem was the omnipresent network media opting to shape what people wanted instead of reflect what people wanted.
