fat black guy moving up and down scales for 3 hours
I saw him back in September, he put on a genuinely great show. Worth seeing for the Tony Austin / Ronald Bruner Jr. drum battle alone. He also brought his dad (who was running the merch table) on stage for a soprano solo at one point.

mediocre playing dressed up with a lot of showmanship and bullshit that the crowd will probably eat up because the majority hasn't ever been to see any other live jazz.

It's like you don't even poser.
Saw him at BRIC Jazzfest last year. Boring and needlessly flashy.

i shouldn't even have to explain myself when i say that this is why i don't take this shit seriously

Fuck you. It's 2016. Why shouldn't a jazz musician sell merchandise? Nearly all forms of popular music have merch at their shows. Just because he plays jazz they need to act classy and shit?
Quit taking music so fucking seriously. It's music dude.

Don't visit the toilets, packs of homosexulist rape hamsters live on his tour bus, and lurk at his gigs.

Some very stilted crescendos built over pentatonic scales with very little genuine interaction between band members that end in the Washington throwing in some sloppy overblown notes and extended techniques.
