1. Why are so many jazz musicians ‘legendary’? How hard is it for a jazz musician to become ‘legendary’? Does ‘legendary’ just mean ‘Oh - I’ve heard of him before!’
2. When are going to do a David Bowie mix tape? Huh? Unca Hugh? Huh? When?

1. Hmm. well, compared with, say rock and roll, there are far fewer prominent jazz musicians, not much more than a handful. I don’t think too many of them got too rich, so maybe they can be legendary instead. but actually I think it’s very hard for jazz musicians to be legendary - for instance, monk is legendary, but what about the rest of the guys playing with him.
2. for some bowie, see:
