[Dixielandjazz] Speaking of slow tempos

[Ken Gates]

Seems to be that one of the characteristics of top level players is that
they can  make a slow (or even a too slow) tempo interesting and even
really swing.  I can remember hearing instances when what seemed to
be a faulty beginning tempo (way too slow) turned into an epic performance.
But only the better musicians can make that happen.
