Parallel chords and tritone melodies which comprise the "flatted fifth" in jazz and blues are oftentimes looked down upon and I think it is a result of what eventually became known as Bop. Most of the time, it just doesn't sound good.

That's about all I can offer.. I've never read that quote before and have been played blues and jazz for 10+ years.
