Jazz from 1957 to 1967 was the most definitive.

I believe that after that decade, the term "Jazz" lost it's definition. I also believe this decade produced the very best Jazz ever. I would like to limit the discussion to this decade in Jazz, or related Jazz.
My system consists of Rega, Marantz cd, Audible Illusions, Primaluna 6, and custom speakers.

Whoa whoa whoa. Bird is the founder of HARD bop ?
Aldavis, Bird pioneered "Bebop." "Hard Bop" descended from Bebop and is characterized by a different sound. How is Bird the founder of Hard Bop?

As an aside: I was never into Jazz for many, many years.. I just did not get it. THEN, I watched a set of Ken Burns Jazz.. And suddenly I realized what was going on in Jazz, and was amazed.
A whole new form of music blossomed before me.
I was late to the party, but I am staying till it's over.

Foster and I suspect Orpheus 10 as well. Look carefully at Aldavis' sentence. It ends with a question mark. :-) So does the dispute I think.
