Perhaps the answer to that question can be found in Ken Burns’ 2001 PBS series about jazz, which was titled, very creatively, “Jazz.” He showed jazz pianist Cecil Taylor saying that his audience should prepare for his concerts, just as Taylor prepared for them, then cut immediately to Branford Marsalis saying, "That’s total self-indulgent bullshit,” adding that he loved baseball, but "I’m not going to go and catch a hundred grounders before I go to a game.” To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
