Is Modern Jazz an Oxymoron?

I am a huge jazz fan and 90% of my listening time is listening to instrumental jazz artists from the classic jazz era of 1950's to 1970's. Excluding jazz singers and a few more recent jazz artist who play classic jazz style I can't stand modern jazz.

My question to jazz fans is if it is my limitation or is this a common thing amongst classic jazz fans? Or did you finally come around and learned to appreciate modern jazz? If so which artists?

Orpheus, I cannot overstate my jealousy about seeing Coltrane live. What you say about Muriel Grossman resonates with me. I was very happy to have found her recently, and she makes me excited for the state of things, jazz wise.  And yeah, the Brahja is wild - came on my radar because of Sam Shilabi's involvement (I'm in Montreal and he was in a ton of bands around here over the years. Killer oud player.)
