New BBNG, guise

>while we wait, what about these musicians music makes it 'above' a teenager listening demographic?
They're talented.
They're good composers/arrangers and great soloists, and their ensembles all have very talented people in them.
It's not my fault you don't know fucking jazz.

>if the rest of the jazz fans in this thread can support your claims then i will concede
So let me get this straight

You are so uncaring about music and jazz in particular that you can't even google some fucking names?
Fuck off newtrip.

Isn't Joey Alexander like... 12?

Yeah, your point?

Nothing, i'm just surprised he is actually good enough to be put in your list, I thought he was one of those "good for their age" kids.
I did like his My Favourite Things though.

Holy shit is that what they look like?

Fucking nerds. God damn.

Nah man his Giant Steps is enough for me to believe the hype. Definitely worth every bit.

Shame what happened at the Grammys though, he got used by Common/the RIAA to try and shill against free streaming.

He's only playing standards at the moment, right?
About the Grammys, I didn't watch them honestly, what happened did he give some awkward speech?

>He's only playing standards at the moment, right?
Yeah but like you said, he's 12. If he was writing charts then it'd be mass hysteria.
>what happened did he give some awkward speech?
Worse.

Never been a BBNG fan but the cover art is ridiculously good and the Colin Stetson featuring made me interested
