Jazz Beyond Awesome

Howard Mandel's "Jazz beyond Jazz" is a phrase that grows on you. At first I thought it was just a cute name for his blog, but he refers to it a lot, as he might be expected to do, and it deepens. Beyond jazz is .... jazz...

It's like second wave feminism's main point: the problem with sexism in the language is that it goes "all the way down." With Mandel, the jazz thing goes all the way up. Get over jazz? All you get is more jazz....

Anyway...jazz beyond awesome is my term for this.
