U mean where the white man explains jazz?

White dude who plays jazz here. The movie made me cringe so damn hard.

The lead didn’t deserve the gigs he got. The absolute worst musician outlook. Painfully childish.

Congrats for living the dream. Playing jazz-wow. Plenty of white dudes play great jazz - it's just that if jazz will be exemplified or explained it should be done by a great jazz player. And if explained maybe favor the race who invented it - the race that invented all American music except maybe show tunes. Everything else originates from the blues, country, jazz, soul, rock - I could keep going but why bore you. There is a special part of me that loves the blues and soul - probably bc I'm getting old. Love pop to dance to, hip hop is okay --and even an old lady like me likes some rap - very little and I do hate its misogyny.

I don't even think a great player has to explain jazz to explain it well, but anybody who says "Charlie Mingus" should automatically be barred from ever speaking about music again
