[Dixielandjazz] Dogfight???

In American marches, the term "Dogfight" has a different meaning. It refers
to a interlude in the TRIO section, often characterized by a "call and
response" -- 4 measures in the bass instruments, with an answer from treble
instruments, the same again (often in a different relative key), and then a
few measures leading into the reprise of the TRIO section....


And since a quantity of dixieland standards transmogrified from marches (and quadrilles, et alia), Jim's parallel is spot on.
