About this Quote

This quote by Billy Higgins suggests that the people of Japan have a better expertise and also recognition of jazz and also its artists than those in the United States. This might be because of the fact that jazz has actually been popular in Japan since the 1920s, when it was initially introduced by American soldiers posted there. Ever since, jazz has actually ended up being an important part of Japanese culture, with many Japanese musicians coming to be popular for their jazz efficiencies. In contrast, jazz has not been as widely welcomed in the United States, where it has been eclipsed by other styles of songs. Therefore, it is not shocking that individuals of Japan have a greater understanding of jazz as well as its artists than those in the United States.
