Re: Lester Young on clarinet

Hermeneutics is a minefield, and some contemporary musicians seem to have an interest in planting more mines. In my opinion, such writings are a logical extension of the circular firing squad style of self-promotion that many jazz musicians adopted in the post-bop era--which reached a frenzy in the 1980s.

When someone tells me there is no such thing as jazz, I hear a tired hermeneutical manipulation meant to disparage some and promote others--and at this point, when things are so difficult for professional musicians, it comes off either as crass self-promotion or bitterness lashing out without much substance.

For my part, I promise not to call anyone a jazz musician who doesn't want to be.
