Your right. Funny how a jazz player would say to me, " Oh,..(long sigh) your a blues guitar player." drollfully I might add but the blues players would be like, " Wow you can play jazz. That's great."
I think I learned more about playing jazz (fusion) with blues players than with the jazz guys. Attitude had alot to do with it. Plus the blues guys weren't so wrapped up in the thing, they just had fun and played their asses off.
As for the retro stuff? I dunno. Everything that is old is new again. I just like hearing good players doing their thing and sounding great regardless of any analysis.
