When there is controversy on this thread, I consider it my duty to express my honest emotions and thoughts in regard to the matter. I'll try to go back to the beginning and take on case by case.
Rok, no one said Wynton could not play; he could be considered the best trumpeteer on the planet, as long as it's someone else's music and not his own.
I could live without Ben Paterson, Miguel Zenon on the other hand was very impressive.
Salvant and Marsalis don't even belong in the same sentence; while Salvant uses old material, her treatment of it makes the old material new beyond belief.
In conclusion, it's not "new jazz", or "new musicians"; after considering Alex's post on the Dimitris Kalantzis Quartet, from Greece... it's new jazz and musicians from the good old U. S. of A.; they're too "stereotypical".
If someone practiced, worked hard and got a degree in music, that would qualify them to earn a good living and play excellently, but not to necessarily be a "jazz musician".
Enjoy the music.
