For the evolution that OH put forward I wouldn't be surprised if guitar music took the trend of modernism where postmodernism deconstructed everything and what people are calling post postmodernism is taking those deconstructed pieces from SY and others to build something entirely new.
Can you give examples of that happening with what Coltrane gave us?

It doesn’t really prove anything if you can’t because jazz has always had a much more clear cut and linear trajectory.

If we use the term modern to mean Schoenberg / Cage and so on and post-modern to mean the next wave(s) like minimalists and ambient composers - I just don’t see where “rock” can go and still be rock.

But then again if classical means everything from baroque to minimalism (and I think that’s fair) then I don’t think rock’n’roll has moved past simple modernism. I still think that’s its cage but hey I’m just a fan. Imagining that **** is the purview of the artists.
