Surely. The nature of music and of the culture surrounding it tends toward constant progression. My comment was just suggesting that there are people out there making phenomenal jazz and funk in a modern context (albeit different from 50's or 60's stuff). True, maybe he's just yearning for something that is intangible, and unique to 50's and 60's jazz. That being said, I'm not asking him for a justification of his work, but merely an explanation that goes further then a generalized claim.

Of course jazz isn't dead in general outline. And I don't say that I totally agree with Jojo... but go to Birdland, Blue Note and then read about it in 50ties or 60ties. Listen to interviews from old cats. Whole atmosphere has changed. That's not necessarily bad but definetly different. Those who grew up with desire to be part of old bebop jazz scene can't finde it there. So they turn to styles who has similar feel...

That probably is true, but I think Jojo means that HE is done there, he's experienced most things and after spending at least twenty years in the scene, I personally can understand he went off in search of something 'new'. And sorry but THANK GOD he did:P

Awesome drummer. I respect his style. However i think if he thinks the jazz scene is done then i don't know what to tell him other then ... look harder? Stuff is out there, its just not as accessible. Also z-mc... not a fan unfortunately.

Amazing, amazing documentary. As a drummer myself I am both inspired to JoJo's level of virtuosity and the colors and textures of the drumn'bass scene. Thank you!! |
