It was pure cringeworthy to watch the whole thing. You cannot talk about jazz without touching on the technical aspects, and Fantano clearly doesn't have a clue about it.
For his luck, the majority of his viewers are underage hip-hop fans who never picked up an instrument in their lives, let alone learn even basic music theory.
Fantano is a just a plain music geek who's been thrown onto a pedestal by a bunch of hip hop fans. Wouldn't be a problem if people didn't take him so seriously.

It was tropes vs women tier of ignorance

>You cannot talk about jazz without touching on the technical aspects Why?
Hunter Peterson
This, it felt like he doesn't know what he is talking about
At the same time though, who the fuck cares about the technical aspects of cool jazz
Liam Nguyen
for what it is it's not bad. it's better to foster love for jazz in some new fans than to disregard anyone that can't instantly explain music theory.

You guys are literal nobody. Fantano job is literally talking about music.
Owen Hill
Actual music criticism doesn't revolve around "muh feelings i get during the listening experience xD". Only mediocre and amateur "critiques" do that.
Caleb Lopez
isn't he copying that Deep Cuts guy with this series?
