Al.;
Please elaborate. I'm trying to understand what you're saying, especially
this last sentence. Are you saying there is a certain point at which most
aj-ers tune out, because the music starts getting too innovative / creative
/ "out"?
Consider nu-jazz, broadly speaking (which covers everyone from Amon Tobin,
Kid Koala, Roni Size, Compost, Ninja, P'taah / Ubiquity, UFO, Dego and 4
Hero, etc... even, grudgingly, some non e:trinity 2 step), and all kinds of
broadly categorized diverse stuff). Aren't these artists, particularly those
who have started to achieve fairly large commercial success, subject to the
same "art" - "market" pressures as anyone else? And do they necessarily have
to be at war?
"If I walk into a record store and see my record still in the bin, I feel
I've failed."
