Jazz died in the 1960s.

Jazz went weird with Roland Kirk, Keith Jarrett's grunting on a piano, Sun Ra.

An artform needs a "scene" to thrive. There is no Jazz scene anymore.

Hahahahaha! That's hilarious, especially given that Kenny G helped to kill it.

  Kenny G was unfairly ripped because corporate types lumped him in with jazz. He's not jazz - he should have been put in the "get laid" section. But since execs are politically correct they "ahem" snorted and said well he plays a jazzy instrument so let's put him the jazz section.
  
  Jazz fans probably would not dump on him as much if he was put in mood music or "adult contemporary" or "new age" where they put the likes of Enya.

Sun Ra was weird starting in the 50's!

Credit where credit is due!
