"Pure jazz"

who is this snitch bitch

It's your future mom. And you're a mulatto.

Both movies are mediocre/sub-par. Oscars are shit; they're just popularity contest.

Not even that, they're propaganda.

So around the 70s, musicians like Herbie Hancock and Miles Davis were bringing electric instruments into the jazz world and mixing elements of rock music and funk into their sound. Albums like Herbie's "Headhunters" and Miles' "Bitches Brew" are good examples of this.

This brought purists out of the woodwork. Wynton Marsalis being a very vocal jazz purist (just as an example). These guys hated electric instruments and the incorporation of non-jazz elements into the style. So they rejected the fusion movement and claimed that jazz had died. They then became obsessed with reliving the glory days and worshiping the great Duke Ellington and insisting that swing (and a bit of bebop) is the only thing that you can really call jazz.

But the fag in the movie who advocates for pure jazz uses an electric piano

The whole idea of the film is struggling to get what you want in life.

That's why Ryan Gosling is a jazz purist who is forced to whore himself out playing electronic drivel that he hates in order to make a living.

Gosling's band IRL is pretty good though

>they're just popularity contest

of what? moonlight and la la land are far from being the highest grossing movies of the year
