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: http://hughmcguire.net/2007/08/24/mixed-tape-my-first-tapes/ 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. Why are so many jazz musicians ‘legendary’? How hard is it for a jazz musician to become ‘legendary’?
