In pulling together a list of favorite music (a thread which is happening on the phiba-improv list (though, fortunately, not as as much of a torrent as happened here a while back)), I find that the stuff that I listen to most on CD doesn't correlate with what I think is the best.
It's debatable whether American writers of the 1990s are using the same language as British writers of the mid-19th century, but in any case they haven't invented a new languge, whereas it is possible to invent/discover new systems of music and music-making (say, serialism, or computer musics...or free improv).
I'm sure there is, but it's from this starting point that creative musicians today have to find their path, work on their means of expression, say what they have to say in the "languages" and "dialects" available, and say it with heart.

 Arranger/Stylists of Light Music
Whether he felt that his audience was easily bored, or he was bored with tradition, by the 1960s "the Kostelanetz Sound" was a style of pop orchestration whereby a change of instrumentation occurred every two bars or so, necessary or not.

Television noirs of the 1950s and 1960s, as well as the cinematic neo-noirs of the 1990s, have used jazz and jazz-flavored music extensively, thus giving rise to the misconception that the genre and the musical style were always intertwined.
But as author David Butler reveals, it was only when modern jazz had a number of prominent white exponents that it gained any kind of exposure in Hollywood cinema, and even then such exposure was limited.
On the 8th of May 1997, the Association of British Jazz Musicians held a one-day conference titled "Jazz in the Media," at the Queens Hotel in Leeds.

 CD Baby: MAYFLIES USA: the pity list
After a debut EP in 1997, they released their first full-length in early 1999, which was produced by North Carolina alt-pop legend Chris Stamey.
That's a logical connection, since Stamey and the Mayflies USA share a love of British pop, power pop in the Big Star mold, and the kind of jangly alternative pop-rock that the South has been known for since, well, Chris Stamey and the dB's.
Their debut album is accomplished and guaranteed to appeal to power pop lovers, the main criticism being that it's not clear at this point whether the group, with several songwriters and vocalists, can transcend their obvious influences to form a more individual sound.
