quick thought

i was listening to coltrane today. that guy was great. at one point in the song blue trane it seemed like the bass, piano and drums were all doing completely different songs. yet, it worked beautifully. anyway, it reminded me of something i heard once before: a lot of the criticism aimed @ hip hop were also said of jazz in it's early days.

i'm trying to remember the specifics, but i think it was stuff like: grandiose personalities, celebration of flamboyance, lack of musicality.
