Great interview with miles talking about the influence of Ravel, Rachmaninov and Bartók on him and Bill Evans which lead to Kind of Blue

Winter Wonderland, Wynton Marsalis... Recorded live at the Village Vanguard, one of the best jazz versions of this song in my opinion (after Sonny Rollins)... This septet could swing its ass off, Herlin Riley on the drums and I believe Eric Reed on piano...

The vid is no longer available and nor are the comments. Would you be able to summarise them (or at least the interesting elements) please?

I imagine heated comments about whether or not the new school guys can compete with the postwar greats. Imo they can't in general but at their best I'm sure they have their moments.

Re: What Jazz are you listening too? or WJAYLT for short.

As I stopped listening to almost all jazz of the non-Latin variety at least a decade ago, I may not be qualified to have an opinion, but anyway: it's a similar situation with loads of genres e.g. blues, rock, soul, salsa, etc etc. There are loads of very talented, well-educated musicians around - maybe more than ever before. But are any of them creating a vast body of work that is comparable to that produced from the 40s through to the end of the 80s? Imo no. Neither in terms of recordings nor compositions.

Someone else could argue that it's all subjective. And of course the genres of today that are innovative didn't exist back in the day, so in some ways it's better nowadays I suppose. We don't have anyone today comparable to Ray Barretto, but we have Daddy Yankee so it's all good.

Re: What Jazz are you listening too? or WJAYLT for short.

Personally I view 99% of today’s musicians, particularly rock/pop acts, and for that matter the overwhelming majority of all contemporary cultural output including literary authors, ‘artists’ albeit gallery or ‘street’, even DJs as being 21st Century Morris Dancers trying to keep the tradition of a previous century alive and producing facile nonsense  – i.e. we’re almost two decades through this century and it’s produced nothing unique and hasn’t really added anything of interest to the existing cultural structures. Technology has played a large roll in this, there is no longer anywhere that isn’t ‘connected’/’socially networked’ for artists & scenes to gestate in isolation, generations now who don’t have the attention span to learn to play a triangle let alone ‘chops’… It doesn’t bode well for a society which can’t produce great unique art… We are now Debord’s society of the spectacle.

Apologies if the Morris Dancer analogy gets lost to Americans.  I’m going to the pub.

Re: What Jazz are you listening too? or WJAYLT for short.

I couldnt imagine a world that stopped turning out great bits of music and art, and what we often see as the sign of our times is typicaly gratingly annoying and novel or a greyish mainstream mush.

Theres loads of good stuff out there, the human spirit is as strong as ever and still wants to be meaningful, you just have to go out and find it, and anything new normally has someone doing it well among the hordes of copycats. Were all still going to die thats as good an impetus as any to spur people on.
