I tend to imagine that those rhythms and scales, along with certain signature sounds, are little more than convenient vehicles instinctively chosen for the purpose of releasing cathartic energy.To "Jazz" is to release pressure in a kind of abandonment, the opposite of oppressive orderliness.
If, in the course of all this, we stumble upon something musically entertaining and marketable ? Then "Hi-de-ho!" - all the better !
