Hey, y'all, I don't know about anyone else, but I'm getting a little bit bummed out by the direction the music is taking. All the 2-Step, Garage, and "jazzy" house is bringing me "downnnnnnnn." Not to dis it or anything, but it seems like we've got a glut of that type of product out there. So much sequencing, so little *jazz!*
Seems like we're kind of in a holding pattern. The "retro" movement embodied by MMW, Galactic, Greyboy, etc., seems well dead, but what's to come in its place? Machines machines machines? Will flesh and blood jazz musicians have to scorch the sky like they did in the Matrix? Other than Truffaz and the better hip-hoppers, who's keeping it real out there?
