Was the '80's really that bad for Jazz?

I came into Jazz in the early 80's, listening to artists such as Bob James, Ramsey Lewis, Grover Washington, Spyro Gyra, etc. And, to this day, some of my favorite records are from that period. "H", "Skylarkin'", "Routes", "Catching the Sun"...I mean, c'mon! It doesn't get much better.

From there I ventured back into the 50's and 60's Jazz, and love that stuff, too. Got tons (quite literally) of the stuff.

But one thing that's always been a bit of a curiosity for me is the fact that the 80's stuff is never...NEVER reissued (there are exceptions, I know) by the majfor reissue labels. It's always the same damn recordings that get a reissue for the umpteenth time (if not the artist, then the label).

Jazz didn't begin and end with Blue Note, or did it?

Was the 80's really THAT unworthy? Really?!?!?

Am I alone in feeling left out?
