In Reply to: Where is the jazz audience? posted by plantsman on March 21, 2011 at 05:34:54:
"Is this simply an issue of lack of exposure?"
Exactly.......
The masses are dealt a constant stream of Kanye West, the Black Eyed Peas, and Linkin' Park.......... They've never heard of Pat Metheny or Brad Mehldau like they've never heard of Beethoven or Liszt..........
YouTube has helped to a degree, but people still need to be made aware that there's music beyond the realm of modern pop and American Idol. But since the mainstream media would rather have mind control over the masses, alternative entertainment to this audience is and will continue to be a pipe dream.
