Brandford is not Old Guard, he's just copying Old Guard. By his logic why should we even listen to him when we can just listen to the originals. Uptown Lincoln Center Bullshit!

Because he is old
This has always been his attitude. Playing jazz for the upper class making it un-affordable for everyday people.

It's sad. Jazz is constantly changing, probably more than any other genre of music, and that is what is interesting.

Well, what a pile of
that is. HEY YOU KIDS, GET OFF MY LAWN!I’m trying to ration my Ja$$ right now - just so many good reissues coming up. But I am going to forego one of the “old guard” titles I was going to order and pick up Glasper now just to support his art ... which is jazz btw.

I don’t think about Branford in that way at all.
The comments from Branford are just odd. He was an innovator and did a lot of work to bring jazz to the people, especially for someone of his stature. I’ve always seen him as an interesting counterpoint to his brother’s staunch traditionalism.

That quote is from Branford Marsalis? Wtf, I thought it was only Wynton who was the close minded one about jazz in that family. Smh. To each their own I guess. I'm glad Glaspar and Kamasi have brought a fresh approach to modern jazz and are looking to expand it and bring it to a younger audience.

It’s also interesting reading the comments, I wonder how much of Kamasi and Glasper’s work he has heard?

Vol 5 is sensational music, but there is a lot of talking that's a lot quieter than the music, so it's probably better on CD for that reason, but at that price it's great value, Vol 1 is great, but again you get a DVD of 2 gigs with the CD that are must sees , but not the vinyl .

And fuck, I waited too long on Coltrane Jazz over at In Sound. Now it’s gone.
Well, I just stumbled onto a Coltrane Atlantic mono box set on eBay for $80 (or make an offer). Inspired by @Dark Star Boogie’s $63 screaming deal, I offered the same and it was accepted. Woot!
Thanks for keeping me on the radar!

If anyone is interested in the whole interview: https://jazztimes.com/features/interviews/branford-marsalis-secret/
I think both Branford and Robert make valid points but also indulge in saying some dumb shit. For Glasper to accuse Branford of being "afraid of change" is completely ludicrous. Branford took shit from his own brother and mother in the 90s when he was pushing the boundaries and experimenting with hip-hop himself. Glasper also claims that this kind of thing is "killing" the music and that no other genres have to deal with shit like this, which is of course dead wrong. As much as I think Branford was definitely too harsh in his critique (mostly that Glasper isn't jazz or that Kamasi is a sax player but not a jazz player), Glasper did the same in his response if not moreso. Glasper puts him on blast and makes a bunch of straw man accusations knowing that others will jump on the post to attack Branford. It's just a bad look all around. Hopefully they both chill out and they should really just get together and jam.

He accused Lauryn Hill of all sorts of shit, including stealing the music for Miseducation from his friends and that she has a big head over something that she didn't even do.
Edit: This video is him talking about it, starting after the 27 min mark: https://www.billboard.com/articles/...-accuses-lauryn-hill-stealing-music-interview

Aaaannnnd, the dude is flaking out now. Said some of the inner sleeves were torn. I asked to take a couple of bucks off. He said "Sure - I'll relist it." Crickets.
This is why we can't have nice things! (Or Favorite Things, in this case.)

Not every old guard acts this way. He's a Marsalis, which means that he has a very narrow definition on what jazz is and what is not.
