This is true of several sub-genres of jazz, but there are many musicians who play a genre that they call jazz who do not worship this canon, do not follow these song structures or instrument combos rigidly, and cross these lines with abandon.

I'll go as far as to say that the entire modern jazz movement recognizes earlier jazz (swing/bebop/cool/funk) as seminal to the art form, but deliberately experiments and takes risks away from classical jazz forms.
