The living artists all seem to be leaning towards the "smooth jazz" genre.

maybe the folk who get air play on "quiet storm" format stations. i am nt sure that is jazz. but then again, i am not sure at this point what jazz is. i know what is was, but not what it is now.
here is a short list of folk still very much alive and doing stuff who you will not hear on quiet storm stations:
ornette coleman
anthony braxton
cecil taylor
bobby braford
fred anderson
ethnic heritage ensemble
ken vandermark
supersilent
anthony davis
roscoe mitchell/art ensemble of chicago
the sun ra arkestra
john zorn
....
there are many many more, but i am sleepy.
