Take a Pianist like Jon Weber, put him in front of a piano,
alone, and you will have mainstream jazz of impeccable quality,
with a very well-marked swing, breathtaking acrobatic passages;
the kind of jazz comparable to the poetry of Mallarmé
It is impeccable; it is sometimes so beautiful that it takes
your breath away, and it is also very schooled and more high
fashion rather than brutal emotion.
Many will love it, particularly the Icelander who will recognize
the jazz styling of their National Anthem.
For the rest of us, it truly remains art for the sake of
art.
