The last good modern stuff I bought was a host of Wynton Marsalis stuff when he first hit the scene. Other than that, I stick to acquiring the old stuff. Johnny hodges, miles, hank Mobley, thelonious, cannonball, the bird, ella, nina, sarah V etc...
Is Modern Jazz an Oxymoron?
I am a huge jazz fan and 90% of my listening time is listening to instrumental jazz artists from the classic jazz era of 1950's to 1970's. Excluding jazz singers and a few more recent jazz artist who play classic jazz style I can't stand modern jazz.
My question to jazz fans is if it is my limitation or is this a common thing amongst classic jazz fans? Or did you finally come around and learned to appreciate modern jazz? If so which artists?
