That Nutty “Professor” is a racist fool embracing his self imposed ignorance. Music knows no nationality. We all learn from and are influenced by each other. To refuse learning is to shrink in the scope of one’s knowledge. Most of what I know of JS Bach and his sons, I love.
*Take one of the basics. A piece he wrote to teach his students about the ‘voices’ of the piano;
Prelude in C Major for Piano.
Thats a lovely piece. Not complicated, but extremely flexible. One that could work in its classical form, or as jazz. Very easily. Listen to it, and you will see what I mean.
Prelude in C-Major
Took on new life when given a top melody to Ave Maria
