BillF Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 Saw that article and had a brief listen on Spotify to a couple of the groups the youngsters are digging and "Ugh!" Perhaps it's my age or perhaps my taste has been ruined by listening to Pres, Bird, Trane, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on this year’s performances, it is in fine shape. Gilad, Hexagonal, Mr Barnes, Newton/Themen, ‘Sound of Blue Note’ - that’s where its at.

In time these young jazz fans will start listening to Bird, Pres and Trane. It’s a slow progression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
