OMG

as a graduating music major, JAZZ is 100% american

made in New Orleans by black musicians

tell that to the jazz musician whos teaching my class and has made that claim

Ask him who "Jelly Roll Morton" is

and be prepared to be suspended from class

oh we've listened to him

classy

Blues and country are also American

but because everything links to other cultures its not ours and thus we are wrong for claiming it as ours

well in tat case

But something something slavery, we wuz kangs, etc.

das rite

we wuz jewz

shouldn't all black people just be banging on drums with bones and clapping rocks together?
[listens to current rap]
oh nvm

so america has no music and fuck all the great jazz artists such as Count Baise, The Duke, Art Blakey Etc.

this music class is just splendid

so all music white and asian then?

i suppose?

hes on a rant about how western culture has made other cultures music muddy or something of the sort... im tuning him out

I'm reeing right now

Literally shaking right now

I took 3 music history classes as a music major in undergrad ranging from Baroque to classical to contemporary to DISNEY, yes I had contemporary music class where a whole chapter was on disney, he's a moron

and now we're listening to "pure" music which is Indian religious music

Lel

ah yes using quarter tones and half sharps and half flats because westerns are too stupid to come up with such beautiful Mewzik

this man is a white man who plays in a latin jazz band

>Jazz
>Blues
>Bluegrass
>not American

you're Canadian, what have you guys ever made

maple syrup?

what

what

beeman

oh

well yeah

Uh we probably never made Maple Syrup, Basketball, or our own currency

But we'll be allowed to take credit for the Ross rifle I'm sure

"artsy fartsy" types are annoying, and they exist in every art form: drawing, animation, music, etc. they tend to be left and couldn't make any money "doing" their craft so they resort to ~~bitching~~ teaching at a local JC

this is a state university

even worse, tenured bitching
