Is this where jazz is going in the 21st Century?? — Jazz Metal + Cats on Roombas

[Rooster_Ties]

One possible future for jazz...

Surely just one of MANY possible futures.

So then I guess let’s make this the official “what the hell are the kids doing to jazz now??” thread...

I like what Monk said.

Seems bleak.

Are video game themes the new ‘standards’?

Oh, I think this one could be! Horace Silver Estate could sue for royalties!

Is this perhaps a jazz of the future?

Xenochrony at its finest! — or is it?

An interesting take on live jazz renditions of Japanese videogame music (and j-pop).

If that’s the future, I’m glad I live in the past.

But you don't.

If you don't believe me look at your watch, look at your calendar, look at your phone, what time is it? What date is it? Are the Dodgers still in Brooklyn? Are the rabbit ears still working? Is Jimmy Durante hosting the Hollywood Palace this Saturday night?

What time is it!

Actually, the Dodgers are down in Vero Beach.  Have to go now as it’s time for Buffalo Bob.

What time is it?

My daughter is a big J-Pop fan, and I perked up the ears when I hear Perfume mentioned. They have one song (!) that I will love forever, and if you to love (REALLY love, not just like) the Astrud Gilberto/Walter Wanderly record and wonder what a post-Space Age incarnation of that ethos would sound like, then this athe new record for you to also LOVE!

Otherwise, I love it when people pay attention and actually pay attention to the details.

Video game music is not just for jazz either. This, and things like it, have been going on for at least a decade:

Final Fantasy musics played by real orchestras.

Perhaps this is some dystopian jazz future:

Future?

[Dub Modal]

We already live in a dystopia anyway

And "jazz" is not helping things any!!!!
