Moreover, I don't read any particularly insightful comments or explanations as to why old jazz is always "better" other than "I say it is". "new jazz is noise", or "Wynton says it is"*****
Wynton said that The stuff Miles and Metheny was playing, was NOT JAZZ. Had nothing to do with new or old Jazz. It was not Jazz of any type. He was / is right.
Do you think New Jazz is always better? Do you think it is equal to the original? Do you think there is no difference is artistic quality?
I say one era is light years ahead of the other in both quality and quantity. Others may disagree.
I do think, that if there was not a constant attempt to keep real Jazz in the conversation, it would NEVER be talked about on this thread.
Cheers
