Why do White People attempt jazz anyways?

Kenny G sucks. Who's made/is making the best modern jazz besides Esperanza Spalding?

Lmao. I mean she hasn't really done actual jazz in a while.

David Binney
David Virelles
Wadada Leo Smith
Henry Threadgill
Yosvany Terry
Rudresh Mahanthappa
Steve Coleman

is where it's been. Maybe check out some of Anthony Braxton's latest compositions, though they are kinda dense.

Evans > Monk

I like FMP-style free jazz in general and Schlippenbach's music in particular, but if you believe that it is better than anything done by African-American jazz musicians then you are obviously know nothing about jazz.

Duotones > Black Saint

>peter brötzmann
>literal who

he may be a jazz meme but you're worse than that

>>74155466
it's funny how as you get older you notice just how denigrating personal attacks are to the speaker

>>74155550
i know, right? insulting brötzmann for no good reason reflects quite poorly on the poster

>muh gimmicky overblows cuz I am actually a one-dimensional improviser

The big time clarinetists are all white, true. But then, there's a reason the popular woodwind of choice is saxophone, not clarinet: all the amazing black people playing sax.

Weak ass contemporary jazz. A real jazzist like Henry Threadgill makes this look like pleb shit (also why Threadgill the black man won the Pultizer and not "generic euro free jazz group #523431")

>the epitome of generic jazz piano (albeit well done) is better than one of the most unique piano players with far more standards who's far more influential
