You could say the same for Classical. ;-)
Follow Ups:
classical is mostly about *covering* tunes by dead composers.
I would bet that there are better interpretors than the composers themselves playing their own tunes. Instruments today are better, too.
It seems to me that today's *jazz* are all imitations. They don't sound fresh like Bird, Miles, Mingus, Evans, Tatum etc..
When they died they took their art with them. Their phrasing, timing, pacing etc.. were so intuitive and spontaneous creation that only they can play like that again.
Unlike classical music, it's just not about their composition. It's about their creative interpretation that made them so special.
Jazz music, on a whole, some fabulous things happen at a spare the moment. Totally unrehearsed.
Try to tell that to Celibedache. :P
In addition, today's major record label will never allow a kind of creative freedom, nurturing and support to the artists. ( like the original Lion/Wolff Blue Note )
These two guys knew about 'fresh'.

LOL!
At least you're humorous.

Music continues to evolve, but for me, music of eras past isn't dead so long as their are performers who can do it justice, and/or use it to move in new directions.
Check out NPR's tiny desk concerts, discussed here before. All sorts of strands in the stream of music, including the supposedly dead jazz and classical.
