However, most listeners don't care about how complicated the music is, they just want something that connects with them and moves them in some way. There is this vibe among many jazz musicians that jazz is above every other form of music because it is much more complex and allows for more expression. Elitism is one of the reasons why jazz is becoming less and less popular and harder for the listener to relate to. Their attitude isn't reserved for Kenny G, but rather most of Rock, most of Hip Hop, most of Soul, really most of any popular music. The Jazz elite never understood how gifts as a performer could outweigh limitations in musical foundation, that a formal education wasn't necessary to move an audience. But he fails to realize that this minor song has become the best known, most representative of Armstrong, and fifty years from now I imagine that will still be the case. That may be so, and I'm certain he could make a scientific case based on scales and phrasing and similar arcane errata. In Metheny's essay he mentions Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" as a minor song from a major musician. To wit, if we could go back in time to a night where both Cab Calloway and Duke Ellington were playing and I could only choose one, I'd pick Calloway. Currently they aren't held in any great esteem, even Blakey is more respected as giving other players a start than for his own drum work. When Jazz was in its heyday musicians like Louis Prima, James Moody, and Art Blakey where just as popular as their more serious contemporaries. Not to defend Kenny G specifically, but this Pat Metheny essay really underscores how the jazz elite that survived into the 90s and beyond really had no respect for the art of playing to an audience.
