Jazz y otras entelequias

Fact-people don'like jazz. Well they do, but their prescence in the market place makes it almost impossible for any jazz artist to make a decent living(that is unless you're Pat Metheny).

-reason why there are very few new jazz artists in comparison with pop or rock artists, which seems to be cloned by the minute.

I should have dedicated myself to pursue a career as a rock musician instead of venturing in jazz. Jazz is a unknown territory, always unpredictable.
Trying to convey the subtleties of emotions by simply choices of chords and tensions in the melodies, has proven to be more challenging that doing it with words. But again, all that have to be said in rock or pop it's been done, hence, at least to me, how empty and poised the lyrics feel.

-but in order to uplift my spirit, have to comtemplate Gaudi's work for a while.

cheers.
