hab das grad gefunden – ziemlich bezeichnend, fand ich:
I’ll never forget the pained expression on Bobby Watson’s face in 1986 when he said, „I’m 33 and I’m over the hill! I can’t get a record deal because I’m too old! What sense does that make? Well, very little, but that’s actually the way it was for a while. It took a lot of stamina and commitment for the few jazz musicians, who came up in the seventies, to hang in there and keep the tradition alive – especially when less experienced young unknowns were making records left and right.
