Jazz in the last 25 years...
Just checking in so you won't think I've died or cut off my hands. I'm in the midst of another move, from Denver's west side to Denver's east.* Have ideas for posts but I want them to, you know, be good. In the meantime...
Jazz made in the last 25 years barely exists, if you go by the Wikipedia jazz overview - also if you go by my listening, which almost never includes it, or at least only includes music by people who had already made a substantial contribution prior to 1990 (though I did put Matana Roberts in my top 10 a couple years ago).
So, how wrong am I? I barely know what's there, if there's a there.

*Actually, we are inadvertently moving a couple hundred yards into unincorporated Arapahoe County; there's a bit part of Arapahoe that juts east all the way to South Quebec Street. I'd just assumed that the border was Yosemite all the way down.
