Highlights of the Final Decade of the First 100 Years of Recorded Jazz (2011 - 2018)
Click the play button to listen to this episode.
This is the last of a series of five programs featuring jazz since 1990, presented as a single selection for each year to reflect trends, career highlights and new artists, at least as the narrative appears from the temporally-challenged context of the last 25 years. The idea to attempt such an abbreviated one-track—per-year survey comes from a terrific essay from critic Gary Giddins, "Postwar Jazz: An Arbitrary Roadmap (1945—2001)." As we approach the present our perspective gets more-and-more limited. In this hour, our 99th of 100, jazz since 2010.
