I had the same question! It’s probably a good time to rethink the name of that music festival.

Simon and Garfunkel to perform at Jazz Fest Geez I'm sorry. It looked like it might have been good too. ;-)

I had the same Q when I saw Lionel Ritchie and Pearl jam. If those 2 acts are “jazz”, then Lil Wayne and Jay Z are heavy metal artists...

Speaking of great jazz, I saw Dave Brubeck (I think he’s 89 years old) play a couple months back at a small club here in Seattle. Fantastic as ever.

Jazz these days is in the eye of the beholder (or is it ear.) “Jazzfests” are, increasingly, nothing of the sort. The only true jazz genius today is Jessica Williams. She’s a pianist you have to hear to believe and, even then, you can’t.

My wife loves Brubeck’s version of “A Few of My Favorite Things” mostly because it doesn’t last nearly so long as the Coltrane one.

I’ve heard her live. Not my favorite, but not bad. For chick jazz, I prefer the swing of Ella over all comers.

Simon & Garfunkle's first hit, 1957

Indeed. Jazz?!?! That’s almost funny.

“Where’s the jazz?”
You are free to boycott this, for its lack of purity.
However one man’s jazz might be another man’s pop, or Blues, or R&B, or rock.
Van Morrison spans a wide range of musical classifications.
He will tell you his influences include American blues, jazz, country, etc.
I think Simon showed on the Graceland album his range in styles.
To: truth_seeker
I love Van Morrison. One of the all time greats. Simon & Gar, I can take or leave.

The Boxer is still one of the greatest songs of the rock era. Pure poetry.

Agreed!!! Though I think “Only Living Boy in New York” is my favorite song on Bridge.
