33、,its significance,and its potential as a unifying(联合) voice across cultures.Despite the celebrations,though,in the U.S.the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older,and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.Its Jason Morans job to help change that.As the Kennedy Centres art

34、istic adviser for jazz,Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz,make the music more accessible,and preserve its history and culture.“Jazz seems like its not really a part of the American appetite,” Moran tells National Public Radios reporter Neal Conan.“What Im hoping to accomplish is that my gene

35、ration and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and white anymore.Its actually colour,and its actually digital.”Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost.“The music cant be presented today the way it was in

36、 1908 or 1958.It has to continue to move,because the way the world works is not the same,” says Moran.Last year,Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Wallers music for a dance party,“just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music,” says Moran

42、y the way it was in 1908 or 1958.It has to continue to move,because the way the world works is not the same.”可知,Jason Moran指出,今天的爵士乐不能再以1908年或1958年那种方式呈现了。它必须进行改变,以跟上时代的步伐。答案:CCThere are some special traditions in Hawaii.People are very friendly and always welcome visitors.They give visitors a lei,a
