The problem is that “jazz sounds like it should be” in context of jazz is relatively simple category and this fact derives from two aspects: a relative simplicity of jazz as an expressive form and a relative mediocre performing ability of pop players. I know, you would disagree with me but I do have the Keith Jarrett recordings of Mozart’s concertos and I have seen what he was trying to do there….

However, I think you do have a point and pop (jazz) music is not only the Cassandras. Even in jazz, there was a period (probably up to the end of 50s-60s) where better musicians played music with different level of seriousness and those recordings might be conditionally use in audio applications.

Still, although a certain level of expressionism and intentions might be found in the better players from the jazz’s past but unfortunately even that music is very one-dimensional and very lightly content-loaded.
