The Outline: It's important not to be a jazz guy, but you don’t have to be one to listen to jazz

"I’ve been listening to jazz my whole adult life, or more. But I generally do not raise the subject with anyone unless I know they are also into it, as though it was a sexual kink or a fringe religion" - the Outline reporter writes in a great article about "the jazz guys". An interesting perspective of a "jazz guy" is the one on Damien Chazelle, director of the films 'Whiplash' (2014) and 'La La Land' (2016) - "'Whiplash' is a sports movie in which the athletes compete using musical instruments... 'La La Land' managed to be even worse - a story about black music that is overwhelmingly white, a movie musical that is inspidly heterosexual".
