I went to a jazz concert once. The act was late coming on stage. So we're all sitting there in the audience waiting for something to happen and beginning to talk amongst ourselves when just ever so slightly you heard what you thought were bagpipes. Sure enough the piper comes marching down the center aisle at full megabels or whatever. He was playing one of those mournful Scottish piping dirges.

He goes on stage and faces the audience while the drummer behind him mounted his throne and added some very, very rudimentary percussion. Of course, the guitars came out and joined in, the piano player came out, acoustic bass...

I never, ever thought bagpipes could ever have ANY application to jazz music whatsoever when I went in.

Coming out, my tune was changed.
