Well, not so young anymore, but I think of guys like Joshua Redman, Christian McBride, Roy Hargrove and Brad Mehldau. All estimable musicians no doubt, but the only album I have by any of them is "Moment to Moment" by Roy Hargrove because my wife likes that kind of "with strings" thing. Anyway, I'm just musing out loud now, but likely one (or more) of these is true: 1. Jazz is dead if musicians this good can't really advance the art. Feel free to set me straight. |
