Frogman, music will continue, but not "Jazz". At some point we have to define jazz, and not consider any music played to be "Jazz".
Let us start from the most fundamental point, and that is with the artists who create jazz; in their hearts they are "humanitarians" they care for other people. That means that "love" is more than just a word, it's a profound emotion we feel for others, and it's expressed in the music we call jazz.
I don't know when one generation ends, and another begins, but I know from my point of view, I'm living in a strange generation, and this goes for much younger people that I know and love. While their love for me is true, it's because we're related, their love does not extend to the broader community; they don't have "empathy", and what I say is verified by many of the posts right here on "Audiogon".
Jazz is passing away with the artists who created it, and when those who appreciate that art are dead, jazz will be dead.
