A moderate conservative can still be appalled by a fascist w/o any
hypocrisy. The fact that Jarrett is a relative conservative only
lends credence to the proposition, as far as I'm concerned.

How is Jarrett pompous-- are you referring to his music? I don't
think I've ever even heard him speak on jazz-- past his oft-stated
acoustic preference.

Well, good ad hominem argument. You've attempted to label Jarrett a
hypocrite. Can't say I think you've succeeded, but Jarrett's
personality has no bearing on whether or not _Jazz_ is revisionist
history w/a propagandist agenda favoring the
petrification/gentrification/status-quo/arch-conservative sectors
within the music.
