Jazz and Conservatism

Jazz music, at least classic jazz, contains a kind of conservatism that is very creative. Traditional tunes are improvised on. The new is synthesized into the old, often in exciting ways. Avant-garde jazz (and art) usually rejects the old and creates only what is new.

Most ideologies have no realistic way to move from the past and present to the future. Revitalized Conservatism and Ordered Evolution address this dilemma in both religion and politics.
