Is Modern Jazz an Oxymoron?

I think we be there.

P.S. my post is only about the conscious realization that a post consisting only in these 2 words "BS" is "non sense"...
Then i apologize to all for being non sensical in my answering post....



I apologize to ROK also, i just realized that with this stupid post consisting of this 2 letters only , he is right, and i am wrong, we are there, like he said...

BoBo Stenson and Kenneth Wheeler are contemporary geniuses and very different in style than my beloved Chet Baker....Paolo Fresu is not Baker but a very great contemporary artist in his own way and i owned all his cd....Sun Ra is also one i admire and i dont like many of his oceanic output, but when he is good he is a genius....Free jazz or not....

I dont like really so much an era, or a style, i like what seems geniuses to me of whatever era or style never mind...And there is plenty of great musicians also now even in jazz....

But for sure not one exceed Chet Baker or Bill Evans or can replace it in my heart.... 😛
It is true in jazz but also in classical music.... Scriabin is a so great incredible genius but cannot exceed or replace Bach, no one can...

Discovering new music or new genius is possible only if we forgot what we love so much and listen without judgment with the heart and the body or the brain.....

Different sounds modify our body or soul metabolism in different way, it is interesting to ask ourselves what this musician or this music do to me in my  heart, brain, and body?

Ask this question and you will be surprized...

One of my childhood friend who worked all his life in a jailhouse said to me one time, after i advocate for the use of classical music all day long in the jail, that it will be the best way to provoke violence and riot....

I begin to understand that the soul must individually prepared itself to experience something that will not be an immediate negative reaction....

Then all our life is habits at all scale, even our musical life and to modify it we must modify OURSELF, our way of listening and we must prepare the organ (heart, brain, body) with which we are listening....
