Jazz is my favorite musical idiom and I listen to it about 80%. I find the newer players to be very exciting and thought-provoking, such as Kamasi Washington etc.I still listen regularly to the old stuff but there’s so much great new material out there now it is a big draw for me
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?
