I would say that Free Jazz and the 12 Tone serliasts are still out on the frontiers of popular taste. Anything else in music that hasn't charmed the bourgeoisie and been used to sell some product or another?


Free jazz does still upset and even raise the hackles in many. You're either receptive and switched on to it or you really don't get it, at all no matter, it seems, how hard one tries. I think it's the frustration of not being aboard something that's happening - and then it becomes anger that they perceive it as elitist.

Erm, what is 12 Tone Serialists, though?
