I know I need to let the "jazz in the U.S. is stuck" comment go. And I will. But I aint done yet. Couple cats I know here in San Diego wrote and recorded this tune after I introduced them to my boy in NYC. After a few nights on the "stuck" jazz scene they recorded this joint. Hence the namesake. I swear I don't get ANYBODY who thinks U.S. jazz is stuck. Bands naming tunes off the experience here son. Living proof right here. Best respect the music and stay in your lane. It will run your spotify searching self over. We don't just stream and collect over here son. We in the club dealing with the music WITH the musicians. Some folks need to sit in the corner and learn quietly while real men handle their business.

A little dissonance has been great to perk up the thread! : ). It gives me a lot to go through.
I’ve noticed jazz has splintered off into a thousand luminescent shards lately. As one small example i‘ve noticed trombone shorty lately. Of course another debate that always lingers out there is what is jazz and when does it become not jazz. More pointless than not anymore. There was a day Miles Davis called Wynton Marsalis “the police” to his face, I have read. Last laugh to Miles. Pulitzer to Wynton. That was kind of two schools with some friction. Now there is a kaleidoscope of innovation, internationally.
We can flip the original statement about jazz in the U.S. on its head and say some folks outside the U.S. are producing some unique and first-class music in the jazz genre. And stay more positive that way. ; )
Anyway, just to throw something out there, trombone shorty from the USA, playing in Europe. . .

Museum curators vs Artist. Wynton vs Miles. Louvre vs Van Gogh. As long as music is the spoil keep the war raging. Jazz is all you want it to be and more. Anytime and anywhere. Dissonance? Naw man. Just some newb blowin smoke. And ... dude! Europe is KILLING right now. Newb was right on that piece. And we love every minute of it. Here's the deal. Newb doesnt get that jazz musicians literally musically battled each other until sunlight for DECADES. Sidney Betchet was arrested for hitting a guy with is horn for saying he hit a wrong note back in like 1920 something. Did time in Paris I think. I'm a jazz man. Since my ears worked I can remember my dad and uncles did a bottle of VSO Cognac battling each other with tunes until 3am and the bottle was darn near empty. Jazz and fighting is synonymous historically and musically. The term "dealing with the music" is a musician term. They are literally fighting with the music on stage, hence the serious jazz performers face we often see. For some innocent to say the music is stuck.. man... I was trying to let it go last night.. but I woke up with it on my mind. Couldn't believe anyone could conjure the thought up let alone say it publicly. "Never stuck" is what defines jazz. You said it yourself with the Miles quote on Wynton. "He the Police". Which is absolutely hilarious because if you EVER get close to the ire of a jazz man by hinting anything about not being progressive ... you better get the $%^%$# out the way. There is nothing worse you can say to him. Nothing. Even if you say his music is trash. No biggie. He'll just shed 200 more hours and try again. Stuck? Deathwish man. Back to the music. Chicago meets New Orleans. Let's slow it down a notch with a ballad.
Picture perfect Saturday afternoon joint for ever corner of the world Rob. Nice.
Classic Jazz for a relaxing Saturday afternoon Chuck, indeed...the cure.
That trumpet ... on Condition Blue
Yo North_sky! Dedicated to you man. You started this thread years ago and I only knew about it a few months ago but have been pretty busy. Since I know you love soundtracks and didn't know you were a jazz hound here's a little treat. From our dear friend Ennio nonetheless. Yes Ennio the "jazz man" turned film composer. Eat your heart out dude!
Smokin man. Just here shaken my head.
