I don't see anything wrong with "music for intellectuals."  Shouldn't 
intellectuals have their own music as well?  Besides, any music that 
Justin listens to is worth listening to.  ;->

I'm just saying that jazz is not "popular music" today.  That's 
neither the fault of jazz nor the fault of the popular masses.  We 
can analyze the causes of this historical change usefully.
