Even Miles Davis said once, he doesn't like the word jazz. In his opinion back then, it should have been called people's music. Nice swing music you posted up there, but when we talk about jazz, we need to mention some of the greats of modern time, like Pat Metheney, Pat Martino, John Scofield, Heribie Hancock, Chick Corea and that alien called Alan Holdsworth (fusion ? ) The "weirdest" the music gets, the harder it is to label it. There is a ton of modern jazz artists that i haven't mentioned. Like Metheney once said, you need to explore, because there is good jazz and there is bad jazz...
