Would-be jazz players ought to at least study the jazz written by Leonard
Bernstein or Dave Brubeck (among others, or even go back and understand
some of the early rules of jazz), and even study a few classical composers
-- and then develop the chops to play it all well.

Go to the sources. Go back to Jelly Roll Morton, and take it forward
from there. Most people didn't understand that Ornette Coleman, John
Coltrane, and many others, could play all the music of their
predecessors. They had already dissected Charlie Parker, and moved
ahead.
