Fortunately, with us of a certain age, there is still plenty of recorded 
material to satisfy our needs. I don't really care about what's 
happening now.

I don't think there's been anything new that has come along, 
stylistically or individually, in the last 45 years. That doesn't mean 
that musicians who established themselves before that didn't continue to 
create fine music.
