That was my point. The author is obviously mis-informed.
And I probably did overreact.

I'm probably overly sensitive to the media (REUTERS in this case)
spreading misinformation about jazz. Maybe it's because I've spent my
whole professional life trying to live up to the label 'jazz
musician'.
The words 'Amy Winehouse' being associated in any way with 'jazz'
diminishes the art form, and therefore anyone associated with it,
that'd be me, and it should include anyone here at
rec.music.makers.jazz, who is passionate about jazz music.

The point is, words matter.

The word jazz has been eroded to a point of being meaningless. When I
try to get a gig at a jazz venue, and someone asks "well do you do any
Amy Winehouse?" (which would be the next logical step in this process
of erosion of the perception of jazz's definition), shouldn't I be
offended?
