Besides, it's not like there's a crowd of millionaires waiting to throw money at the next guy to come along and play Girl from Ipanema. Play what you love, and move to the Netherlands if you get too weird for your home crowd.

regarding the original question - I think you already know the answer.
if the question was "bad artistic choice?", that would be a horse of a different color.
we've already run this through a bunch of times:
1. music is not a great career choice for hardly anyone
2. jazz music is even tougher to make it with
3. free jazz is even tougher
its like going out of one's way to narrow his/her revenue prospects

I love everything about free music except the way it sounds.
