I posted the you tubes of Jimmy Cleveland not for you, but for Bill  
Haesler since he had not heard much of his playing.

You can define jazz however you like. After all, "jazz is what you  
are" to quote one of the greats in answer to the question; "What is  
jazz?"  Once past that, trying to discuss  a definition that fits  
everyone, is masturbatory
