We have to distinguish between commercialising one’s output (Moody’s Mood, Getz’s Jazz Samba?) & developing the #jazz form. #MilesDavis never compromised a note despite the foray into #fusion & #jazzrock. #ManfredSchoof, once l’enfant terrible with #SteveLacy & #MalWaldron turned to pop! In many ways this is about jazz’s cultural stock! The 70s were difficult for people like #LeeKonitz & #LennieTristano, #CharlieMingus. #Pioneers. Jazz missed a beat in the #1970s.
