Santana and "Abraxas" took over the world of music in 1970; this music could be heard everywhere I went; jazz, rock, blues establishments, no matter what the dominant genre of music in that particular lounge, something from "Abraxas" was on the jukebox. (never went to a hillbilly lounge)
Rok, you have to go back to what was happening at that time in order to re-discover fusion; I'm sure you bought at least 2 or 3 fusion albums.
"The Beatles" music was popular at that time, and since I didn't care for "The Beatles" I didn't know I was listening to their music recorded by another artist; everybody recorded their music.
So many things were happening in the music world in general, that "jazz-Jazz" was pushed completely out of the picture.
I use this music to audition just about everything when I'm going to make a new audio purchase.
