Default It's a shame...

I went to a record store and tried to buy Take Five by Dave Brubeck and the record store didn't have it. It was once the greatest selling Jazz albums of all time and now they don't have it. It's a Shame. They also didn't have Kind of Blue by Miles Davis. Soon in the Jazz section is only going to have pop standards no actual Jazz. In music theory in college we go over why some Jazz composers where so brilliant. I've liked Jazz for a while and recently found out my Dad does too. It once so popular (in my Dad's day) and now it seems like it's dying. The real sad thing is while alot of Jazz was pop not of all it was. Miles and Brubeck were geniuses with rhythmn using synocopation to create dissonance rather than the traditional classical way of using harmony. Soon the only place you'll hear about those guys will be in college like so many other classical composers (i.e. Prokofiev, Saite, Stravinsky, Josquin to name a few). It's a shame.
