They follow Jazz from it's roots. The show is very interesting with a great sound track to boot. But the commentator made note towards the end of the feature that there has been nothing new since Coltrane. That we have been in a dead period for 30 years. Here is were I completely disagree. I am somewhat schooled in Jazz and I have been on a twenty year discovery. I do not know everything, nor do I claim to about Jazz. But this statement is false, and MMW prove that. One of my other favorites JFJO also help prove this man wrong.   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Rumpelstiltskin (74 posts) Mar-10-10, 05:38 PM (EST) 1. "RE: Masters of Jazz " LAST EDITED ON Mar-10-10 AT 05:39 PM (EST) The statement that there's been nothing new since Coltrane sounds a bit like it was made by someone stuck in the classical period. I had a friend in college from bermuda who couldn't stand Bob Marley. When I asked him why, he merely said, " Do you listen to Elvis?" Some people just get stuck musically in a time period and find it difficult to embrace what's coming down the road. Bless MMW for keeping it fresh.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

A lot of that had to do with the heavy influence of Wynton Marsalis on the project, as if he's somehow the only authority on jazz.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
