It spawned interest in legitimate artists from other parts of the world too and may have contributed to the success of artists like Belefonte, Makeba, and Guy Warren. Some serious jazz records resulted as well. One that comes to mind is Art Blakey’s Drum Suite (1957, iirc).

@icastico@c.im @W6KME@mastodon.radio @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org Harry Belefonte I remember. Hadn't heard of the others. This is first time I heard of Art Blakey. I just listened to Drum Suite on Youtube, it was great! As far as jazz drummers go, Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa were/are still my all-time favorites.
