So I picked a few major jazz figures, and tried to think of an analogue from rock or R&B. Some of the associations are based on historical role or something else substantive, but most are impressionistic. Some are just lame, and should be amended. Hundreds more could be made. The same exercise could be done using jazz and hip-hop, for example, or any two genres you like. Since there is no rock or R&B Armstrong, I got off to a rough start. And then I started to lose interest before I got to any current or even recent stuff from either genre.
