Rebel Music

I really enjoyed this short piece in the New York Times this morning. It’s always interesting to hear how interesting artists came to their art.

Along (very roughly) the lines of Felsenfeld’s experience, I’ve often wondered why MTV doesn’t occasionally salt its programing with bop and post-bop jazz, especially fusion, for their viewers looking for something “new.” A stupid idea for many obvious reasons, I know, but not for many really good ones.
