Continued…

It has created demands for new definitions off the musical style.

This is questionable situation because:

It borrows the vocal expressions that regard simplifying elements of expressive devices.

Lack of previous values of Jazz has diluted the music.

No resemblance has been noted in large parts of Jazz music created currently. There is a commendable job done by young musicians, however, it only a scratch on Charlie Parker’s tradition and have not commanded the tonal jazz language. No singer is swinging on stage anymore and this raises concerns of Jazz music losing its direction.

What cause uncertainties in Jazz?

A large part of the jazz music doesn’t define what used to be Jazz.

Its sound has turned devoid significantly.

The sound has synchronized with other rhythms and music communications of the past.

The tonal jazz language is not being considered.

This has led to loss of preference to the jazz music presently sang by artists.

Conclusion.

Pop music is taking over Jazz music.

The audience of jazz music is becoming sophisticated and small.

Trumpets aren’t being used anymore.

Jazz music is supposed to take its course.

This could be possible through merging the new and old style of Jazz music.

Jazz music is losing direction and this is evident from the ways the current artist can't even play instrumentals. This has resulted to sophistication of the jazz music audience as they are becoming smaller. Trumpets are not in use anymore and this leads to the music losing meaning.
