Y’all are in too deep. All he is saying is that anyone can make jazz music. If you like it then play it. It’s fun and cool. Just remember to appreciate the culture and understand the history behind it. Other than that art is art. Let people enjoy it

I think he means human in the sense that the music transcends any color or group of people and impacts everyone. it's like blues, but blues didn't necessarily thrive outside of America as well as rock did. Rock is black music, rap is black music. look at how well those two genres have done, look at how much they've impacted the world outside of black people.
limiting it to black or white or American seems to limit the art form saying it's a culturally bound form of music. it's not, it's impacted a lot of people regardless of culture, race, ethnicity, or nationality.
he still credits the music to black people and in my opinion, it's a testament to black culture to point out that the music is not just something to put in a box. Black people made art that connects to humanity, to the whole world. and it shouldn't be labeled to something that only a certain group gets to enjoy. it's The difference between credit and impact.
The credit of creation goes to Black folks, but they created something that impacts everybody. it's an art form that connects to the human soul and that anyone can create and enjoy. and all of that is a testament to black culture, not a discreditation of it.

I understand why some of yall are mad because we need to affirm what some yt ppl try to steal and make their own I get it! so did black ppl create jazz yes! but on a macro level we are all human! limiting ourselves to our skin color can be kind of small minded as we are greater than our skin colors and phenotypes at the end of the day we are simply spirits in different colored vessels.

The point is anybody can make jazz anybody can make tamales but it derives from black culture just like tamales derives from Mexican culture but you can find jazz in African music even find tamales in Spanish cultures nobody owns a dish just like nobody owns a genre of music nobody can tell who and who not can make tamales or jazz but of course Mexican people make tamales better just like of course black people generally play jazz better bc WE INVENTED IT

Why does it matter if its black or white? Is all music not made for the soul? For emotion? What does it matter if they were black, white hispanic or even white when anybody can listen to it
