"......hollow, 'experimental' masturbators."As a jazz musician, I'm sorry you no longer appreciate a lot of newer jazz (I'd guess you'd dislike my music too). But your characterization of guys like Holland/Hancock etc. is just plain ignorant. Shorter and Hancock "just going through the motions"? Kind Of Blue "hollow"? GMAB. Jazz is ".....a joyous expression of the human condition."? Yes, that and every other emotion known to mankind, and open to every nuance imaginable.
Many artists (in every art form) continuously evolve, leaving some of their audience behind. Obviously musicians like Dave Holland are working on their art every day. He's an artist 24 hrs. a day, year after year. Most of the jazz audience are not, including you. Its not weird that the evolution/change/growth of a jazz artist can leave some of their previous audience behind.
My mom once went to a Stan Getz concert around 15 years after his bossa nova recordings came out. She and apparently quite a few others in the audience were disappointed with what Getz's group was playing. There were shouts of "Play Ipanema" from the audience. Getz had to explain that time marches on, artists change and grow, and he hoped they'd give what he was currently playing a chance. BTW - he was hardly playing off the wall or soulless music with that group (which included Kenny Barron on piano).
Its a shame you fall into negative raps like "Just some jazz celebrities ripping it up and down their instruments while juggling arpeggios, exotic scales, trying very hard to play on the "outside"." IMO your post is just a bullshit troll. If you were into jazz for years and were listening to the likes of Wayne Shorter/Monk/Miles/Cannonball etc. I'm sure you could find several thousand jazz recordings you'd enjoy without help from anybody on this forum.
Meantime, my condolences.
