"Is Jazz Dead?"

Well... depends on your definition of Jazz and Dead...
This doesn't sound 'dead' to me: http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/se ... usic_music...
So what, it's a cover of a Radiohead song... It sounds very jazzy and alive to me.

Whenever one was tuning their respective instruments, the band director at my high school would always say "close enough for jazz" and then instruct the students to carry on performing.

That just goes to show how sloppy jazz can be. I can't stand jazz. It reminds me of pretentious old men with popped collars drinking pink lemonade while wearing dress shoes...or something to that effect.

High school band directors often wish they were doing something better.

Freddie Hubbard died today.
