One of the most curious aspects of all this as concerns subjectivity/objectivity and as it relates to the old jazz/new jazz debate is the simple fact that it is the staunch old jazz devotee(s?) who seem to like ONLY old jazz while I don’t think there has been a single fan of new jazz to post here that has not posted or expressed liking old jazz as well*****
Old Jazz is Jazz, and that is not in dispute. The definition of the current music is in dispute.
Surely you don't expect a person to come on board saying something like, "I like Jazz except for that noise made by Ellington, Armstrong, Mingus, Miles, Monk, Adderley, Silver, Morgan and folks of that ilk". Do you?
Cheers
