I thought the same thing.  But it specifically narrowed the focus down to musicians that are "largely forgotten" today.  Okay... Bix is well-remembered.  But depending on who you talk to, so is Fats, Charlie, and certainly Bunny.  Clearly, the eight chosen were personal favorites, and nothing more.
