"The Master"
Anderson seems to be trying to do, in cinematic terms, what one of my fave writers - TC Boyle - does in his novels:

"The Road To Wellville" (Kellogg)
"The Inner Circle" (Kinsey)
"The Women" (Frank Lloyd Wright)


Thomas Ades
Maybe the moronic remarks he makes in his book about Mahler, Verdi, Wagner and others - "tripe", "horrible", "worthless" etc - are more measured than in this interview; but he still struck me as the biggest prat on "Front Row" since Wynton Marsalis a few months ago.

Marsalis thinks that the development of jazz ended with "Kind Of Blue" in 59.
The other two big 59 classics - Ornette Coleman's "The Shape Of Jazz To Come" and "Ah Um" by Mingus - are where jazz started to Go Wrong, according to that twerp.

(Who also dismisses all rap and hip-hop as the black man regresssing to the plantation days.)
