"All those old time recordings of those tunes are less than 3 minutes.
Fine as a guide perhaps, but if you can believe the anecdotal evidence,
not anything like how these tunes were played live. To rely solely on
recordings as an exact form of any jazz tune is myopic. Too bad that
extended Roseland version of Tiger Rag was not recorded."
 
Too bad we who were not yet born can't tell what old bands sounded like
except through recordings. Your use of "myopic" in this case is mistaken
and frankly pompous. Get over yourself, pal.
