What is the difference between early blues music and modern blues music?

Answer 1

Older jazz is much more basic because the musicians did not know as much about their instruments. For example, before John Coltrane's time, altissimo was not popular among jazz saxophonists. Also, contemporary jazz bands often times use more modern recording methods and in many cases the sound quality is worse on older jazz records. Due to advances in recording technology, now it is easier to hear individual parts like the 2nd alto or 3rd Trumpet part.

Answer 2

the words modern jazz are a misnoma,

there is no such thing as modern jazz, jazz is an ancient art and the sounds of so called modern jazz have nothing to do with New Orleans which is the cradle of jazz.

The great jazz trumpeter Louis Armstrong would have nothing to do with so called modern jazz

The idiom called modern jazz is no nearer to real New Orleans jazz than modern Classical Music such as Berlioz so why use the word jazz to describe it.

although I don't decry the musical ability of people who call themselves modern jazz musicians, but it ain't jazz, so give it a break fella's and lasses find your own name, I suggest bebop, rebop or crapop.
