It wasn't that long ago that YouTube music guy Rick Beato interviewed jazz players. John Scofield and Mike Stern each got an hour interview on his channel. The partially disabled Keith Jarrett appeared on Beato's channel, and there have been others - classical musicians too.

I expected he'd comment on Miles Davis' birth centennial, and of course on the death of the legend Sonny Rollins. But nothing - zero - on his channel about these big events. There was, however, a lotta stuff about the band Rush.

I think Beato and his consultants have realized that the YouTube dollars are not there for jazz content. "Nice knowing you, Rick!..." I say, as I unsubscribe.
