You have to be on the Mount Rushmore of swing bop or free and that’s it. Introducing an instrument won’t do it and fusion is no can do.

It was a guitar player, Charlie Christian, that help carve out Mount Rushmore of Bebop. I know at the end of his career Wes was playing Jazz covers of mainstream songs, but he started out doing Bebop and Hardbop. Wes (as well as Barney Kessel) are considered the successor to Charlie Christian. Barney Kessel knew Ornette Coleman, before he (OC) was ever allowed on stage to play and OC made the list.
edit: I don't care about WKCR's elitism, it's jftr.
