is there any new jazz out there that is worth listening too? My jazz collection stems mostly from the 1950's ( coltrane,Miles,art blakely) and was just wondering if their is anything today that is kind of decent.

    Wynton Marsalis is not really a new jazz musician but he is newer then the classics like monk, miles, coltrane, hancock etc.

    He is a trumpet player and many folks say his early albums are great miles davis imitations, but he has grown as a musician of his own ability since those days. If you are not familar with him you may want to check him out.

    Check out a group called The Bad Plus. Some jazz people love them, some hate them. Personally, I love them to death. They have three albums: "These are the Vistas," "Give," and "Suspicious Activity." "These are the Vistas" is my favorite.

    They are very talented musicians, and have unique songwriting. They always do some good covers as well. The have covered Nirvana, Aphex Twin, and Black Sabbath.

    Wynton Marsalis is amazing. I'm lucky to have had the oppurtunity to see him once.

    Thanks Finns...


    I personally think taht if you don't have the basics like Goodman
    or Armstrong,
    You don't know Jazz at all.

    On a whim a few weeks ago I borrowed Blood on the Fields from the local library. An incredible peice of work!

    I think the whole Scandinavian peninsula has a wide array of new jazz talent. Mostly free jazzy stuff, though. ;)

    Bob Weir mentioned some great names. Nice funky stuff!

    I'm really into Bill Frisell at the moment. Great stuff.

    If you can't get high on purely music and the sounds that you hear, you're missing out on something.

    The album he did with Petra Haden is very good. Love the 'I Don't Wan't To Grow Up' song.

    Absolutely. I'm exploring his catalog and finally bought some vinyl for the first time in a while. 
    Also, this is from 1970, so not new, but really good Japanese funky fusion from Jiro Inagaki.
