Abstract: We explore the relationship between network role, territorial location and the adoption of transgressive styles on jazz music between 1950 and 1969. Our study contributes to the literature on the role of networks in the adoption of innovations, employing the following analytic strategies: (1) we use regular equivalence to identify clusters hierarchically related to each other; (2) classify these clusters into role types; (3) we determine the extent to which territory moderates the relationship between role and the adoption of innovation and (4) we show that territorial location and mobility emerge as an alternative mechanism to network role.
