Getz/Byrd Desifinado in '62; Getz/Gilberto Ipanema in '64; Song For My Father in '64; Lee Morgan's big hit Sidewinder in '64; A Love Supreme in '64; Mercy, Mercy, Mercy in '66; Wes didn't die until '68 and had big hit w/A Day In The Life that year; Bitches Brew in '70; Mahavishnu '71-76; Return To Forever in the '70's.I could list more. No, jazz wasn't remotely as popular as r&r, but sure as hell was still selling and attracting audiences in the '60's/70's.
