I am not necessarily questioning if you are correct or not because that is as irrelevant as your post was to my original post.

OTOH, I grew up in Washington, DC, which from the early 70s into the early 80s, was the bluegrass capital of the, as far as radio play, club dates, proximity to festivals, bands based in the area, as musician moved down from them their hills. I know bluegrass, I grew up on it. I also know Bela Fleck and Edgar Meyer from our associations with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra. There are certainly some technically proficient and talented players. Sierra Hull and Molly Tuttle in the younger generation as well.

But all that has nothing to do with my OP. There are some great young Jazz players. My point was as simple as that. To bring in other genres is like debating weather chocolate, vanilla, or Sicilian pistachio gelato taste better.
