How much contemporary jazz do you know? The perspective of the article seems very American to me. Consider European jazz masters such as Tomasz Stanko [1], Enrico Rava, Marcin Wasilewski, Tord Gustavsen, Bugge Wesseltoft, Bobo Stenson, Enrico Pieranunzi, Helge Lien, John Surman, Iiro Rantala, Esbjörn Svensson, Stefano Bollani, Arve Henriksen, Myriam Alter... These represent a considerable evolution of jazz, in my opinion, that seems rarely included/considered stateside, the stature of labels like ECM and ACT notwithstanding. Not that the US doesn't have its share of great contemporary artists; Aaron Parks, Anat Fort, Brad Mehldau and Keith Jarrett come to mind.
