Comes in gatefold card case.
It is a cliché, although one for good reason, that jazz music is most often philosophically divided twofold. Exhibit A: jazz is a verb. As such, anything can be jazz as long as you make it so. And you, as a capital a “Artist” have an obligation to evolve (to use an often-cited scientific term), the jazz artform to ever new, different, and progressive places, lest the music ossify into grains of moldy fig dust, becoming the sonic analog of the dinosaurs who once roamed the earth. Exhibit B: jazz as noun. Here, jazz means a specificity of musical gesture (swing, blues, song form, codified improvisatory practices, instrumentation—for some, electric guitars need not apply).
Pre-existing and widely understood, these classic jazz performance practices are easily locatable on seminal recordings, with traceable threads linking back to this music’s rich history, tradition, and legacy. Given that a slightly manipulated familiar adage is that in mixed company one should never talk politics, religion, or jazz music, it is easy to see how quickly the aforementioned divide can crystalize into ideological camps where never the twain shall meet.
