Believe it or not, jazz was mainstream "pop music" from the 1920's into the 1960's. Instead of Kanye West and Taylor Swift, they had Frank Sinatra and Billy Holiday as famous pop stars. Whereas today it is usually a band or a solo vocalist that is popular, they had instrumentalists just as famous as any singer today. Glen Miller, Count Basie, and Benny Goodman were all instrumentalists, leaders of jazz bands, and famous pop stars, being played on the radio, records selling like hotcakes, etc.
