"Not surprising at all. Our current society (99%) lacks the personal depth and intelligence, required, to understand both Classical & Jazz Music."
I liken America's culture to a closed city where the only restaurants are fast food.... Those who've never left the city would believe that a Whopper hamburger is at the high-end of culinary excellence.....
The people themselves aren't the problem, it's America's network media that hides quality music from the masses..... Most people don't know that the music even exists..... (I think the fact that most music presented being digitized doesn't help matters either.) If 100 Americans under age 40 were surveyed, I'd guess less than five would know who Miles Davis or Cannonball Adderley was......
