This so vague the fact that you can't actually go deeper than this tells me something

because it doesn't go deeper than that -- theory is descriptive

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

I'm not talking about the video here

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

I have no idea what you're trying to say here. something being a "latin back beat" doesn't mean that it's not also common in jazz

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)

not sure how any of this is relevant to what I was talking about, or to the video
