Americas cultural warfare was supposed to make the west look cool and dynamic. Playing boring music that only elderly college professors listen to does the opposite. Gavin was a 5th Columnist who should be celebrated by the left for delaying the fall of the Soviet Union for a few decades.

i love adorno, but adorno’s criticisms of jazz are retarded and lack a material analysis
max roach, nina simone, the musicians of the AACM, ornette coleman, among many others were communists. bebop, post-bop, avant-garde jazz etc. are all genres which directly contradict adorno. it was a music of struggle originating out of blues and the hardships of its own times, and thusly a struggle against the colonized position of black musicians. also, many jazz radicals such as charles mingus were originally rejected from segregated orchestras (and thus the white bourgeoisie) for being black, which set them on the jazz course. get with the program
here's a nice jazz channel from the US/WP
