I ealise that journalist Nick Hasted has previous form in using “jazz” as a term of mild derogation. Try this, for example, discussing gangsta-rap, from Hasted’s book on Eminem:
“Like jazz, it was another ghetto “communication of art”, of ideas of violent rage, rebellion and injustice….”
Such are the crass pre-conceptions some people have about this music!
