I'm more into Jazz from 1940s/50s and onward. IMO there is great stuff throughout all decades, and it's unfortunate that a lot of 1970s-present Jazz isn't as studied. Jazz is taught in schools as this relic that doesn't go past 1968. Some of the best jazz happened after the late 60s, and I think it's just stubbornness from some in the Jazz scene to not accept change; even though the genre was in constant evolution from the 1920s-1970s. Some of the stuff I've heard released in the past 10 years has been amazing.
