Tell Armsrong, Parker, Ellington,Miles, ect, it was not about intellect.
Study the origins of Bebop, then come back. They were studying everyday what the classical composers of their time were doing.
Same with Ellington. He went from dance band to Orchestral.
Always been about great musicians intellect.
