Are you a jazz neoconservative or a jazz rebal?

nothing but the truth.

A jazz neoconservative would be some wimp in a suit with a Kenny G collection.

I'm a jazz lover- and smooth jazz is neither jazz nor rebellious, if that's what you're getting at.

Bitches Brew was considered very rebellious. Many didn't know what to make of it.

I guess a jazz rebel.
The first jazz I ever bought/listened to was Miles Davis-Bitches Brew. Not sure if thats considered rebellious though.

I like the old stuff best... Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington.

I had a cat called Charlie Parker! =P

both. i sound more like a conservative, because i like to sound like tommy flanagan/barry harris/oscar peterson/hank jones/kenny barron. but in the "new school stuff" i like to imitate chick corea, herbie hancock, etc

None of the above.
I love the full spectrum of Jazz.
I appreciate traditional jazz, cruise with bop to bossa, feel the Moods of Miles, Sermonize with Trane, get funky with fusion, even dig avant-garde/free jazz (sometimes you feel like a nut.....). And yes, even though I only have one Kenny G album (yes I admit it!), I do like the grooves of a lot of the "smooth jazz" stuff (like... George Duke, Norman Brown, Joe Sample, Najee, George Howard, Kirk Whalum, Bobby Lyle, Ramsey).

Once you severely limit the music, you're no longer jazzin'

You must mean trafitional jazz (elevator jazz) vs experimental maybe even avant garde jazz(I hope that's spelled right). Traditionalists follow the "rules" very closely while most experimentalists say anything goes. I think it's very beneficial to make use of both. You gotta know and understand the rules to do a good job at breaking them.

Personally funk-jazz with a little bit of an experimental sound is my favorite jazz related style. Such as John Scofield or Medeski Martin and Wood, which have combined their forces now to become Medeski Scofield Martin and Wood.

Oh definetely Ella, Louie, Anita O'Day, most of Al Hirt, Lionel Hampton on Vibes.
