Great post, agree with all you have stated. In addition the opportunity for today's youth to be able to move across and listen/appreciate all genres is tremendous. It has helped me to widen my musical horizons.I remember one of my friends coming home from a Damned gig and telling me about a weird old man on stage telling jokes and playing the saxophone, apparently Lol Coxhill used to play support to a few punk bands back in the day, so he must've heard worse insults than the one's in asterisks above...
There was a certain amount of crossover between avant garde jazz and new wave music - The Pop Group, The Flying Lizards, Blurt and a few other bands took inspiration from the anarchy of free improv and Ian Dury nicked the tune for 'Sex And Drugs And Rock'n'Roll' from the bass solo on Ornette Coleman's 'Ramblin'
New York 'No Wave; bands like DNA, Red Transistor, James Chance & The Contortions, Friction, The Lounge Lizards and Sonic Youth have all claimed some free jazz influence. And Lou Reed was a big fan of Ornette Coleman.
Nowadays there's a whole younger generation of musicians growing up without the prejudices of their forebears and they listen to whatever takes their fancy
