Destination: Out’s Best Jazz of the ‘90’s poll is really great because too many casual fans are afraid to think about jazz past the ‘70’s. Check out parts one and two now! And so far Joe Lovano has only been mentioned once. He’s a fine player but as a co-worker/jazz aficionado once told me, “He’s influenced, but not influential.”
One thought on “They thought of jazz in a time of flannel.”

I was surprised Don Byron wasn’t mentioned at all. But I’m not that knowledgable about jazz (not as much as these guys, at least), either. I know Stanley Crouch isn’t a Byron fan. But Bill Frissel (who’s worked with Byron) did make some of the lists.
