and theory can be used to describe those "tricks and licks" whether or not the person playing them knew it

This so vague the fact that you can't actually go deeper than this tells me something - in any event, the video itself assumes that you're going to have the means to pay for a white mans college education, in a white dominated country with white institutionalized racism, using white acredited textbooks I will never use... all while mentioning within the video itself that there's other systems of music that exist despite that

You're literally watching a video from a person who considered latin back beats as 'jazz' and that's his problem for not being Latino like me - of course I sat through music class learning music from a white dude who called it 'world' music and have it bug me

Blame popular musicians and the rappers you listen to, they literally have no pre-conceived notion of the fact why something sounds great other than the counsel of what the video is saying: standardized tropes from a white man

But at this point, musicians from the 1900's onwards were on their own to consider their own stylistic tropes thus the invention of Jazz itself. Miles Davis knew this and created an entire foundation separate from Classical culture by capitalizing on the explicit use of modes (and there was some of this before mind you, this was because some people flat out didn't have the means to read sheet and learned it on their own)
