...Unfortunately, as the founder and president of a jazz society, and the official "jazznik" at the radio station where I work, it's kind of difficult to avoid.
We have endless offerings of music here which bill themselves as jazz, but then you turn on the show, or get to the concert, and it's that "smooth" junk. It has turned into a very problematic phenomenon and one which is nearly impossible to battle. It's everywhere and the few jazz fans that are here are extremely frustrated by it.
It is something that, unabated, might finally accomplish what a lot of "swing" in the 30s and 40s never did: it will kill jazz.
