Who is your favorite Jazz musician and what is your favorite song?

Popular music pervades everything. And not always in a good way. TV shows like this pop music show , American Idol with Simon Cowell and judges seemed to be selecting for and rewarding these half fast/half slow whining styles . And then this show or another similar one even called this slop, I mean style , Soul. Begs the question about the audience too: Have any of them ever heard real soul like Ray Charles?

Unfortunately, kids growing up only listening to garbage, will develop their musical abilities based on that, in terms of taste and analysis.

Playing would probably not even enter into it because there is little to no playing involved.

Eight years ago a went to a young people's nightclub in Lansing Mich. Some guy was on stage with a laptop. Every now and then he'd push a button to evoke a drop. That was it.
