Well, it's from 1926 so it's not surprising that it sounds "a little 20/30s".
I do have to say I can't imagine dismissing and entire era of music like that though.

Tell you what: throw a few vids my way, see if anything grabs me. I'm never ready to totally discount a genre, but my thinking towards jazz is admittedly already coloured by what I've heard up to now, and what I've heard I don't like.
But you never know...

I'm not really a fan of Santana so I can't speak to the merits (or lack thereof) of that album, nor am I super well-versed in fusion, but I'll see if I can come up with something for you to listen to.
