From: votemiles on 3 Oct 2005 22:29 The year Monk retired? The year Mingus died? Coltrane? We do seem to be living in times rather thin on musical geniuses, sadly.

Labels want music that can be labelled.

There's plenty of good jazz being made (and some of it s even being recorded & offered for sale - go figure). Hell, Bluegrass is even seeing somewhat of a resurgence (again), and it's been dead buried several times in my short (45 year) lifetime. When was the most really good jazz embraced by the powers that run the major record companies? Late 1950's - early 1960's. When was the last time really good recently recorded jazz was relatively easy to find in a typical record store for anyone who was actually looking for it? Probably late 1970's If you know where to look, there's still some really good live jazz happening in most reasonably sized cities. Some of it is even getting recorded. Don't expect to see it in your local Border's or Barnes & Noble's.
