Cross-fertilisation of Jazz

There is in music a great place to cross-fertilise ideas, play in each other's bands, work on collaborative projects. I've seen this in various genres, but none more-so than jazz. Back in the sixties, Herbie Hancock working on albums for himself, Miles Davis and others. And in more recent times, Charlie Hunter and Stanton Moore performing on each other's albums and also forming another "band" for their collaborations. Outside the professional field friends may collaborate in one off projects.

Ok, that's as far as my random thought got. Perhaps someone might tell me why jazz can have this culture, or perhaps you feel I've been unfair to other genres. Let me know what you think.
