Suggestions for Revival of Jazz

(sent by an anonymous jazz musician, fan & critic)

Given the dire state of the art - recently bemoaned by Terry Teachout
in the
Wall Street Journal - here are my suggestions for getting young people
interested in jazz:


1) male jazz musicians should immediately adopt the wardrobe of
prison
inmnates (pants pooling on the floor, underwear waistband showing)
and
perfect the art of gratuitous crotch-grabbing;

2) female musicians should take style tips from Britney Spears and/or
Irma La Douce, and undergo whatever cosmetic enhancement may be
necessary to turn back and stop time at the age of 25;

3) jazz should respect the fact that many multitasking young people
have the approximate attention span of a gnat, and stop expecting
them
to listen to anything for more than, say, two-and-a-half minutes,
particularly if they can't jump aerobically during the chorus;

4) every jazz artist should be Twittering and Tweeting and Booking
Face, thereby acquiring close personal friends who might support
their
music, and finally

5) composition titles and lyrics should reflect current concerns and
values -- for example, the outdated notion of romance should be
replaced by
references to "hooking up" (see above reference to attention span).
