When Tom W said

Many Technically trained and often over musically educated players
often try to take it from it's simple feel good form and avant garde it
out to show off their proficiency and technical skills but almost
always leave the music flat and boring even if technically brilliant.
They seem to play it as if to put it down and show off their Aloofness
at being above such simple music, but in my opinion, when they do so
they really don't have a clue about how to play it and get a real
audience response, as if they totally miss the often simplicity of the
music that makes it truly SWING :))


I couldn't agree more. The bands/musos you listen to and say wow what a
great diminished 39th (who really cares); pity they swing like a dead
donkeys d---.
