		He is among the most prominent jazz musicians of the modern era, and one of the best-known instrumentalists in classical music.
		Marsalis, by producing both classical and jazz albums, pointed out the importance of the connection of the two genres; some fl classical composers of the 1980s–90s, like Marsalis, were jazz musicians during their careers.
		Avant-garde and jazz composers have become sometimes indistinguishable as the former began to use jazz tonalities and as jazz drew upon the serial techniques and other elements of the classicists, with the most important emphasis in both being the impovisational or quasi-improvisational style.

	Miles Davis
		By now, he was an elder statesman of jazz, and his innovations had been incorporated into the music, at least by those who supported his eclectic approach.
		Davis surprised jazz fans when, on July 8, 1991, he joined an orchestra led by Quincy Jones at the Montreux Jazz Festival to perform some of the arrangements written for him in the late '50s by Gil Evans; he had never previously looked back at an aspect of his career.
		At a time when jazz is inclining toward academia and repertory orchestras rather than moving forward, he is a reminder of the music's essential quality of boundless invention, using all available means.
