[Dixielandjazz] Two beat or four beat that is the question......................

[Don Ingle]

Actually it should be "boom CHUCK boom CHUCK" with the accent falling on
beats 2 and 4.
As to four beat, listen to any "solo" by Bill Basie, and listen to his
rhythm section. That is pure four beat behind his simple piano notes.
