Musicians like Art Davis made "jazz" what we think of as "jazz." You might not know his name, but you've snapped your fingers to his basslines! When the late Coltrane's contemporaries die, there is no one to replace them. That is, there certainly are great jazz musicians in their 20s, 30s, and 40s, but they can never again make jazz what it was. We're seeing the end of an era.
