But to me he teaches what he knows about music to people who want to listen. Why is it you would disregard one mans legacy over some views on music? You know I read something on John Fahey avant jazz guitarist and I thought this guy was interesting. So im reading and he says "Im GLAD JERRY GARCIA IS DEAD" and I thought what a aasshole. Its music and thats a guy you are glad isnt making music anymore. But it doesnt mean I dont like what Fahey does. His slide work is great. So in contrast with Wynton I might disgree with alot of his views on jazz but I also think he has a great outlook on discussing music and explaining what it is to him. He gets along with kids too explaining music. Whats so bad about helping out schools?? But you know what? Leonard Bernstein was hard to deal with too. But aint nobody gonna say he didnt do nothing for music. It would just be a funny statement. Alot of people didnt like Zappa cuz of the things he said. He was a button pusher. I mean artists have their quirks im not gonnna disregard somebodys work by what they say or think. Which is what you seem to be saying Santero.
