Jazz Supreme from the Vault
"How is it that the freshest jazz being released these days is made by the same artists who were leading the pack 40 years ago?
'The legacy of the music is undeniable, and when something like this is unearthed it gets attention, especially when the artists are no longer with us,' says Jon Hammond of Mansfield, a jazz DJ on WRIU-FM (90.3) who is in the Boston jazz clubs at least once a week. 'When you think you've exhausted their entire output and something new comes out, it's a real treat. People of our generation who weren't around when this stuff was going on feel like we can participate in it when new stuff is unearthed.' ¶ 12/26/2005 07:08:00 PM
