I totally love this song to the max. I shat when I heard it and hounded a very annoying radio presenter over and over to answer the phone and tell me what it was I was listening too. Carla Bley is Amazing...

You gotta know how to swing

[@IamNemoN01]

This is so true that classical musicians (with few exceptions) can't swing. Watch Boots Randolph's live version of Yakety Sax, and then look for the version played by Andre Rieu & Jso. She's playing all the notes, but she just isn't swinging-there's no groove or soul.

Yeah.. they can't do much outside of what the sheet music tells them to play.

This was such a turning point for my playing. What an experience !
