Having now listened to the both, I prefer traditional jazz.
I heard some live jazz in America some years ago[ not in New Orleans, but they were professionals] and I think now that it was modern jazz they were playing. It put me off jazz because I thought that it was all like that.
Now I like jazz so thanks for the question!
