Did you listen to Steve Coleman's music ?

Did you listen to Bojan Z., Julien Lourau, Django Bates, Aka Moon, among
many others ?

If you did, I don't think you could ask such a question about Jazz's death.

According to each ear there are many pinnacle periods for Jazz : New
Orlean's and Old style, Big Band's era, Bop, Mainstream, Cool Jazz, New
thing or Free Jazz, Jazz-Rock, Electro-Jazz, New European Jazz (don't laugh
at, please -:)...

Do you really think all those styles are dead ?

Do you really think J.S. Bach's music is dead too ?

Jazz is no more only an US matter.

Don't forget Jazz and Indian's music (ie: classical music from India) are
the only musics where improvisation is 80% of the language.

Jazz or whatever you call it will be developing for ever.

Just forget pseudo music's scientists or scientologist's opinions about what
is alive and what is dead.

When I hear to Thelonius Monk, I know I'm not dead.

Regards,

Laurent.

Absolutely correct Laurent. Out of the over 1000 jazz cds released
every year, there are hundreds and hundreds of exciting, vibrant, hip,
cool and extremely well played jazz cds. Most of these are on small
indie labels and get very little exposure and promotion, but as a part
of this small community, I can safely say we/it is far from dead. What
is dead is major label support for cutting edge jazz. My personnal
pinnacle period for jazz was from around 1963-70. Though the early 70s
as all periods, had some great incredible stuff.

Long Live Jazz....

Gill Scott Heron wasn't a rapper. By any stretch.

But I did see a 3 stooges eopsiode where they rapped all the way through..
circa.. 1950 something.. or earlier..
