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?

P.S. my post is only about the conscious realization that a post consisting only in these 2 words "BS" is "non sense"...
Then i apologize to all for being non sensical in my answering post....



I apologize to ROK also, i just realized that with this stupid post consisting of this 2 letters only , he is right, and i am wrong, we are there, like he said...

An important part of being a good listener is having a little humility about it all. We may not like it, but this doesn’t necessarily mean it is no good.

Hey frogman, Take your own advice and learn a little humility. I did not dismiss all contemporary jazz as no good or just skronking and bashing. I did note that the trend in contemporary jazz is for more skronking and bashing and asked a question to try and understand this trend.

Please read my post again and apologize, if you have the humility and integrity required to do so.  My guess is that you have neither.
