QuotePolice decided to investigate after an angry jazz buff complained that the Larry Ochs Sax and Drumming Core group was on the wrong side of a line dividing jazz from contemporary music.

The jazz purist claimed his doctor had warned it was "psychologically inadvisable" for him to listen to anything that could be mistaken for mere contemporary music.

According to a report in El País newspaper yesterday, the khaki-clad police officers listened to the saxophone-playing and drumming coming from the festival stage before agreeing that the purist might, indeed, have a case.

His complaint against the organisers, who refused to return his money, was duly registered and will be passed on to a judge.

Alright Iason, time to stop pretending to be a Spanish doctor and giving out free "advice".  You have gone too far.

Fact:  there is nothing on the face of Planet Mudball more insufferable than a jazz purist.

You cannot fathom the immensity of the fuck i do not give.

I like miles Davis (he was funny) and Nina Simone.
If I'm really, REALLY fucked up I will not break the hands of someone who puts on thelonious monk.

I like some other jazz but wouldn't know about who makes it.

Of course, people who listen and/or make/air smooth jazz should be killed immediately.

Alty,
disgreeing to agree.

No we don't; I love jazz. 

But it's easily mockable, and I would never discourage the practice.

just because you love it doesn't mean it's not shit.

for example, I love 80's hair metal, which is definitely shit.

RCH,
actually really hates jazz though

Possibly true, but I don't think it's shit.  Some parts of it, maybe I might agree.

AFK

I'm a Jazz fan.  But I'm not a purist by any stretch of the imagination.  In fact, I also like Smooth Jazz, which I imagine drives the jazz purists batty.
