the people saying "nothing is new" are the ones most quickly passed by.
in 1920, height of swing, no one could have predicted hard bop, and the insanity it caused.
in 1944, no one could have predicted what simplified R&B rhythms and driving backbeat (rock n roll) would do. It immediately made eveything that came before seem OLD and DATED.
Somewhere out there is a collective of people making music that we have never heard, that you will never expect, and that will instantly change everything.....
There is always something new.
