Hello, edprivat. Good to see you around. Indeed, free jazz dominated the 1960s, stripping jazz of the solid foundations it had built on in previous decades. And then in the 1970s the electronic instrument revolution and the approach to rock took it even further away from its origins. Fortunately, thanks to musicians like Art Blakey, who had been playing and teaching hard bop since the 1950s, and new talents like Wynton Marsalis, jazz was resurrected in the 80s.

Don't forget about Weather Report!!!
Have you heard of Snark Puppy?
Of course, Weather Report, the Mahavishnu Orchestra and Return to Forever. I don't know about Snark Puppy. What kind of jazz do they play?
Dude !!! I love Mahavishnu !!!!
Well you gotta check out Snark Puppy
The new generation of jazzkids love it ...
And Jacob Collier
Who annoys me profoundly, but I might be just envious of his talent and don't know how to deal with it...
I've found Snarky Puppy an interesting mixture of wind section and electronica with excelent musicians, especially the keyboardist in this particular track. They've won three Grammy Awards. About Collier the piano programming to playing by itself is very good and his way of playing it's also superb. He's won also two Grammy Awards, so both are doing very good music. Thank you for showing me the jazz of the future :-)
My pleasure, they are indeed the future!!
