i never got the sense that Kind of blue was about showing off...i mean that's something i hate so i understand why copeland, being a punk, would hate that shit too but i dunno. there is something about "modern jazz" like we're not talking about the last gasp of the art form in the 60s i think he's talking about 80s jazz contemporaries and lets face it, since the 60s, jazz sucks a bunch of dicks and is entirely about showing off. i mean you go to contemporary "jazz" clubs you're going to hear nothing but covers filled with self congratulatory solos. it's repulsive.
