    So why are most people completely uninterested or unaware of Bartok? Thad Jones + Mel Lewis Orchestra?

    Commercialism of music? Most people like mainstream artists because that's what has an advertising machine behind it.

    in a musical language that you don’t understand

    This is what I'm not processing. Plenty of jazz songs are cool at first listen, and it's not as of jazz is some hyper-exotic style that's foreign to mainstream listeners.

      I feel like that's one half of the problem, sure, but I think the other half is the lack of exposure to the musics in our communities. Have you never been to a Jazz Club where everyone is completely buried in their phones, even the tunes with diatonic as fuck lyrical heads get ignored pretty quickly.

      The first time I heard fucking *Donna Lee * I thought it was absolute noise. I like it now obviously but I disagree with your assertion.
