I actually listen to new jazz -- why shouldn't I ? I am only 22 years old, and I want to hear music that is today's music. I, too, can't stand fusion, but I also beleive that jazz doesn't really mean a particular sound. Remember how Coltrane, Charlie Parker, and Miles Davis were ridiculed when they started out. Actually, I am not yet an ``intense'' jazz fan. My contemporary tastes lean towards stuff like Material (and all the allied stuff), Jamaaladeen Tacuma, Wynton Marsalis, the Art Ensemble of Chicago, and Ronald Shannon Jackson. I'm glad that Blue Note is back. -- ``Bob'' (Robert P. Krajewski) ARPA: RpK@MC MIT Local: RpK@OZ UUCP: genradbo!miteddie!rpk
