“The Future of Jazz”

Billy Taylor’s’ 1958 TV show, “The Subject Is Jazz,” featuring Bill Evans, Tony Scott, Art Farmer, Jimmy Cleveland, Doc Severinsen, Ed Thigpen, Mundell Lowe, Eddie Safranski and George Russell.

This an interesting perspective from over half a century ago on the “Future of Jazz.”  At the time it was broadcast many, of the people who first played jazz were still living and working.

I’m happy to report, 52 years later, that Jazz STILL has a future!
