/r/ModernJazz
A subreddit featuring newer/modern era jazz recordings. In the spirit of Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Pat Metheny, and other great innovators, we embrace forward thinking musicians and the jazz music of today. Creative Improvised Music.
"If Charlie Parker got out of his grave today, he would not want motherfuckers playing the same shit he was playing when he was alive. He'd look around, 'What the fuck are you doing? I played that already! Why are you playing this? I've been dead for a hundred years -- I'm back now and you're still playing my shit. Move on.' That's a smack in the face to people if you keep shit the same way. You're supposed to continue on a legacy. "
-Robert Glasper in a 2010 PopMatters interview
Here in r/ModernJazz, we not only shine light on popular modern jazz artists, we will also turn the spotlight on the lesser known artists who are making waves in the modern jazz world. We are very pleased to have a mod (Dave) who has been writing about the modern jazz scene for quite some time for various platforms and websites over the years. So feel free to participate and join us in conversation and posts! Modern jazz is being created everyday.
