>
> When an arranger arranges Jazz, it is Jazz.
>
>  When a musician plays notes that a Jazz arranger has arranged for him, It

>
> A band can play an entire Jazz arrangement, arranged by a Jazz arranger,
> with no solos, and it is still Jazz.
>
> Regardless if it comes out of a musician's brain or an arranger's brain,
it
> can still be Jazz.

And swing like a dead donkey's doo doo.
