BillF Posted July 29, 2019 Report 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

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. Quote

Classic genres - what the f---! Quote
sidewinder Posted July 30, 2019 Report Posted July 30, 2019 This story has even made it to the BBC Radio 4 1pm news - the interviewee even mentioned ‘genres’. Quote
