In Reply to: The "jazz snob contingent"? posted by Rick W on May 3, 2015 at 20:09:20:
The "very popular recordings" you mention are unknown by 99.9% of the music-buying public and are to some extent resented by real jazz aficionados as being undeserving of their recognition relative to thousands of superior recordings that are never mentioned.
Jazz never had the "tune in, turn on, drop out" image associated with '60s rock.
