unhinged
when
a
jazzer
says
the
current
state
of
jazz
is
masturbatory
i
feel
vindicated
for
being
told
my
love
of
puccini
was
purile
for
being
told
i
was
an
idiot
for
not
wanting
to
expand
my
technical
vocabulary
for
music
i
thought
was
ugly
i
love
melody
;
maybe
my
definition
of
that
word
has
expanded
slightly
over
the
years
,
but
i
still
love
the
second
movement
of
dvorak's ninth
symphony
because
the
MELODY
is
tearjerkingly
beautiful
.
every
time
i
listen
to
it
,
it
brings
tears
to
my
eyes
.
every
time
.
music
has
always
been
about
emotion
for
me
.
reading
a
high
level
professional
jazzer
aspiring
to
the
same
goal
makes
me
feel
vindicated.
eat

all
you

school
bitches
.
i
have
capitalism
on
my
side
.

no reason
what
did
branford marsalis
say
?
i
didn't
really
like
jazz
until
i
started
to
play
it
;
that
seemed
to
make
it
much
easier
to
hear
the
melodies.

...
no reason
i
mean
,
who
was
he
referring
to
specifically
?

you
may

the

unhinged
and
from
what
i
can
remember
from
the
article
he
was
referring
to
jazz
in
general
,
no
one
specific
.
he
was
probably
trying
to
be
professional
and
stuff
.
if
i
remember
right
he
was
the
marsalis
brother
that
was
into
other
kinds
of
music
, including
classical
.
he
was
in
youngstown
that
week
when
he
gave
that
lecture performing
a
trumpet
concerto
with
the
symphony
.
I'm
just
glad
someone
on
the
forefront
of
contemporary
modern
music
had
the
balls
to
say
emotion
and
melody
are
still
valid
.

world

a
shit
about
ugly

i
think
winton--the
most
famous
--is
the
only
one
i
haven't
seen
perform
live
(
though
that
might
not
be
true
).
seeing
delfeayo
play
at
vaughan's
in
the
9th ward
was
the
best
though
.
