The washboard player was good.  WM's solo sounded like an angry insect for
the first part and lacked much feeling or creation of tonal color, subtle
timing during the parts where he played fewer notes then he reverted to the
million note runs again.  The drummer seemed to get a nice groove going with
an emphasis on the first beat -no swing there.  Couldn't bear to listen to
the whole thing.

There are many that dislike Wynton. I personally think he draws good 
attention to the old classics even if not played how perfectionists 
would prefer they be played.
