Many  years ago, when someone enquired of Wilbur de Paris about his
band's  repertoire, he replied: "We have no repertoire; we play
anything that can  be jazzed on."  While we know now that his band
indeed HAD a  repertoire, the approach itself is very healthy.
 
    That is a good quote, and one that I  hadn't heard.  Thanks!  Those are 
exactly my sentiments.
