I agree, I think there is an awful lot of great stuff going on. And an awful lot of banal, commercially engendered excrement. I guess I just choose to ignore the latter and focus on the former. I'm perhaps goofy, but I'm supremely optimistic about the jazz scene currently, the faults cited in the initiating post notwithstanding. Jessica Williams, Marcus Printup, Dave Holland, Rodney Whitaker, Ron Blake, Dave Douglas,Brad Meldau,Chris Potter..... the list goes on. This is a fecund time and I see a lot of good things happening in spite of the negative trends mentioned.
