“They’ve been saying that jazz is dead at least since 1940s, the theatre business was supposed to die a long time ago, the movie industry was supposed to have died with advent of TV, everything was supposed to have died, but what have we learned in this past century, that none of these forms really die. What they do is they go from immense popularity into a long, continuous afterlife, nothing stays in the spotlight forever.” - Chicago Tribune arts, jazz & classical music critic Howard Reich talking about the idea that certain artforms are “dying”.
