Seems like every one good freaked out for a bit. Miles Davis and all his alumni making a hundred fusion albums Ornette and his acolytes going off into the land of free jazz.

A year after leaving the Ornettes quartet Cherry was in Scandinavia playing a gourd in 10+ minute pieces not even touching his trumpet. He definitely freaked out musically as many people did at that time. Straight Jazz was selling worse and worse, fusion stuff was selling great and people were trying all kinds of stuff.
