It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

no. not the same....

classical is mostly about *covering* tunes by dead composers.
I would bet that there are better interpretors than the composers themselves playing their own tunes. Instruments today are better, too.

It seems to me that today's *jazz* are all imitations. They don't sound fresh like Bird, Miles, Mingus, Evans, Tatum etc..

When they died they took their art with them. Their phrasing, timing, pacing etc.. were so intuitive and spontaneous creation that only they can play like that again.
Unlike classical music, it's just not about their composition. It's about their creative interpretation that made them so special.

Jazz music, on a whole, some fabulous things happen at a spare the moment. Totally unrehearsed.
Try to tell that to Celibedache. :P

In addition, today's major record label will never allow a kind of creative freedom, nurturing and support to the artists. ( like the original Lion/Wolff Blue Note )
