[Dixielandjazz] Subject: standing, sitting, and jumping around

[Charles Suhor]

This is a discussion that wouldn't exist for most pop music today. Just about every rock and hiphop band in recent times has taken " stand up and dance around" to absurd dimensions. All that motion and energy, and musically, nothing's happening (typically). Bore, bore, bore. Thankfully, the tradition is Country & Western music, like jazz, is mainly on expressiveness and not calisthenics.

I have done it both ways since the late 1970s, there are no rules. I prefer to play tuba sitting down, but I can still play Sousaphone or Helicon standing up sometimes.
