Usually. Not always. Stolzman pulls it off pretty well; Edgar Meyer can play damn near anything and sound great, and check out a German cellist named Wolfram Huschke some time. There are others, but I really don't think I need to remind you just how awkward and painfully square the overwhelming majority of classically-trained musicians are when they decide to "let their hair down" and play jazz, that poor, black-sheep relative of "serious" music.

I did, oh, call it seven years of concert band before I switched to stage band. Now I can't play straight eights notes anymore.

I'll bet it would still be a lot easier for you to get straight eighths down again than it would be for those "dotted-triplet figure = jazz " guys to go the other way. They've had rigid and exact subdivision drummed into their heads for so long that most of them wouldn't be able to get the feel of anything as abstract as swing if their very lives depended on it.

Sheesh, is it "mutate a thread as quickly as possible" week?

I also gotta ask why you guys don't create your own threads more often.

I'm all for posting in more topics. I'm also all for annoying you. It's a tough decision to make.

You know, you're not the first person to find the idea of yanking my chain amusing. I guess I'm just that sort of person.
