I'm waiting for the right Bus to come along, in which case I'll quote a site for some

vintage

downloads.

Would I have to pay for those downloads?

Not being cheap, when I download my music I want to make sure the artist gets rewarded.

If it's vintage jazz, the performers probably died several decades ago.

Yes, but I think it was more just a case of jazz evolving from pre-existing forms of popular music rather than there being any conscious attempt to invent it. It couldn't have happened anywhere other than the US at that time though.

There is though, a truly rebellious and iconoclastic side to jazz that places it squarely in the deprssion to post WWII America, largely afro-american, and now largely redundant. I love jazz, but admitting that's unlikely to win you too many friends.

Early jazz was what it was because of the "socio-ethnic bllsh1t". It is, however, of little relevance to the development of jazz past the mid 1920s.

Jazz is the sound of capitalism dancing a violent Tango with communism. A cacophony of everyone trying to out do the other in a jungle of sound, competition all at the same time as they're trying to get along as if they are playing the same tune and everyone is holding hands like do goody socialists. Make up your damned minds, I say.

Artsy critique over. Nah, really, I don't like Jazz and I don't think about it or hum it. Not my thing, but no skin off my nose if people like it as long as I don't have to watch them or listen to them doing it in public... Eww..

I googled them and they are tv shows? And it's a bad thing I don't watch them? I have heard of BB, though.

So your claim to higher intelligence the high ground is to watch and know about crap on tv? I think I'll take a point. Roll Eyes
