>in a time when there were labels
manufacturing the music that was in that era, there was a plentiful amount
coming out of it and there isn't now.
Well, my point is that there is still a lot of "acid jazz" being released;
it's just that few on the acid jazz list seem to care much for it...
> who really cares though about this, i think it is dead and i moved on? if
you think it is still around then sure, go for it! i respect what you say -
in the end it doesn't matter. music is music. good music is quality music.

we could endlessly banter about this but we don't solve anything and we keep
circling around each other with comments and arguments. let's just listen
to the music.<
Agreed, it just gets me when this or that particular style of musical
expression is deemed "dead." Saying we've "moved on" seems a little bit like
saying now that we're into yang, we've moved on from yin.
For instance, take someone like Horace Silver. He still releases albums that
have alot of the same qualities of the coveted classics he put out for Blue
Note in the 50's. Who's fault is it that hard bop is "dead" when Horace
Silver is very much alive?
Is he supposed to buy a sampler and start chopping beats? Can't he just be
who he is, and can't we accept him or reject him for who he is without
resorting to terms like "old-fashioned" or "dead?" It's all relative anyway,
or so it seems...
