Another article, this one more optimistic than the WSJ piece. It appeared in today's NY Times:

I like this article describing portions of the 2007 London Jazz Festival. It is called "It's About Total Freedom At All Costs" and reads completely differently than the cited articles in this thread. True, someone like Marsalis wouldn't even begin to qualify certain forms of newer jazz as "jazz", but he can deal with it in his own way in his own space. Me, I'm about celebrating today and prepping for tomorrow. Others can eulogize the past. Jazz ain't dead. It just became Death Jazz.

I didnt read everybody else's response but i still want to put my 2 cents in. I read this article a while ago and jazz isnt dying, the art form is just changing. There is a new audience that most jazz musicians are not apealing too. If i were to play bepop for the rest of my days, I would be a bumb. People like Kurt Rosenwinkel, Brad Meldau, and Pat Metheny are poineers and created a new genre of jazz with in itself. I believe that the statistics in that article leave out a big chunk of the mondern jazz that we see and hear today.

As an educator and performer, we will keep it alive as long as we continue to perform and inspire others. I have two jazz ensembles at my school, one is a class and one is after school. My students enjoy jazz and learn a lot about improvisation. I also think it is very important to support live music as much as possible.

if Jazz were dead we wouldn't be arguing about its continued life. There's some life left in the old girl yet.

Morticians, arguing about who gets to bury the body?
