This week, we'll look at the great American art form as it finds its way into the 21st century. Jazz continues to evolve in ways that are both striking and familiar. Just as Charlie Parker and Charlie Christian took popular music and stripped it to its core before radically making it their own, today's musicians are taking the cut and paste technology of hip hop and using it to disassemble, rearrange and rethink the process of improvistion. As Frank Zappa famously said "Jazz is not dead...it just smells funny" We'll start off with Bernd Burnson from his CD The Jazz Massacre and a 'Brave New World'
