Yeah it's assuming that the audience neither knows about the finer points of jazz history, nor cares. So it went with a very easy and immediate soltuion as far as the soundtrack goes. The movie is very populist, but not in a patronizing manner. It just knows it's audience. I'm fine with that, as long as the movie shows genuine respect for music, which I think it did.
