In previous decades, jazz was widely popular. Some of the best-known musicians from the 1930s and early-40s were jazz musicians. Once be-bop arrived, though, audiences were kind of turned off to the style. As mentioned earlier, at least some of the motivation(s) behind the cool school and hard-bop was to try to return jazz to a more popular style. But, the goal wasn’t to “dumb down” be-bop, necessarily, but to find ways to take the innovations and make them a bit more approachable. Some of these artists in these new styles got lucky and actually found some mainstream success. Both “Better Git It In Your Soul” (by Charles Mingus [recorded in 1959]) and “Take Five” (by the Dave Brubeck Quartet [recorded in 1959]) were relatively popular with general audiences (not just “jazz fans.”) In fact, “Take Five” is still one of the most recognizable jazz tunes from this period for most people.
