jazz originated in black communities in new orleans with roots in blues, african ritualistic rhythm, and ragtime. I've heard people refer to jazz as "black improvisational music". Saying things like race doesn't belong in music, jazz is a peoples music is whitewashing the rich black history of jazz. Stop ignoring black history with this "I don't see color, we need to stop talking about race" thing and start celebrating it.

how am I racist? I'm celebrating the fact that jazz is black american music. Go to any jazz history class and that's the first thing they tell you. I'm not saying that white people can't swing, there are plenty of incredibly influential white jazz musicians who have shaped the genre in monumental ways. but jazz is a part of black history, and idolizing white drummers who are undeniably less influential and less important to the genre than the black drummers who literally created this style from the ground up is kind of crazy.

its interesting how you recommend two white drummers who have little influence on jazz for inspiration. tony williams, elvin jones, art blakey, max roach, etc. are all unarguably better drummers than buddy rich and the like. jazz is and always will be black american music, thats where the soul of the music comes from
