The jazz police

[Dave W]

They really exist!

This is ridiculous. What next? Call the cops because your favorite band isn't rocking hard enough?

[Basvarken]

There was Dutch band called Jazz Politie.

Their name was meant as a joke, to make fun of all the so called connaisseurs in the audience.

Look out Kenny G
Rick

wow. sounds just like the self appointed blues police. this guy needs to be clockwork oranged.

[uwe]

This is of course not for everyone (though Ochs' sax is not as aurally demanding as the guitar but even that settles down after a while), but if jazz is not allowed to be experimental then what is? What would the Spanish gentleman have said about Miles in the late sixties?

[hieronymous]

You can tell they're jazz police because they have syncopated beats!

(I wish I had come up with this myself!)

[jmcgliss]

Just more evidence we live in a tattletale society, where one crackpot or curmudgeon can invoke the police or frivolous lawsuits.  That "16 tons" prop from Monty Python needs to drop on a few people.

The guy was just lucky he wasn't at Monterey, Hendrix would have given him a heart attack.
