I don't think anybody has to be "accredited" to play jazz, not even in an informal way. The BBNG guys went to music school, but plenty of amazing jazz players never do.

The people who take issue with BBNG are by and large taking issue with the derogatory or dismissive things these kids have said about other jazz musicians and about jazz educators--including educators at the music school the band attended.

"I for a moment don't believe that they,BBNG, are single handedly out their to change jazz but to have fun with their style of music with kids who would not likely go to a traditional sit down jazz venue. Besides what's "actual jazz"?.

However, I'd have to agree with your take that this music is pretty stale from a jazz standpoint.
