Maybe it’s different around the world but where I live it is EXCLUSIVELY the purview of yuppie rich kids who go to fancy music schools. There is not a non-white person in sight. It’s also completely male dominated and most of those males are completely terrible with women (based on stories I’ve heard from femmes in that scene).

Like yeh they’re talented musicians but they’re insufferable and it’s classist and sexist and just gives me the ick big time. They colonised jazz folks.

I can't speak to IRL jazz scenes because I'm not a grass-toucher, but Emmet Cohen's guests are not just a bunch of white dudes (he's based out of Harlem). NYC is the jazz scene though, so it's probably not representative of how other scenes are since everyone flocks to NYC
