sigmaclass:I'm not certain I follow your history of dorky jazz. It is more likely that classical players found that playing in a 'swing style' was more accessible to the audience, but rather than actually listen and copy, they produced a superficial, bastardized version that sounded good enough for the 'uneducated masses'.To my ears, though, dorky is a very good adjective for what it sounds like.

As a classical trumpet player who used to be a lead trumpet player I have something to say. They are not trying to play legit jazz, in my profession we call it "dorky orchestral swing". It is just the way it evolved and it is actually difficult to do after playing so much "real" jazz. It is sort of like when composers use a traditional song in romantic music, similar melody but not nearly the same style.

Well U have to remember they are mainly classical players but they are music educators and they did do a good job and giving this song a jazz feel

venus113:I agree to a point. But there is a right way to play jazz and jazz figures, and CB's attempts fail.I've talked extensively about their use of 6/8 rhythm to create a 'swing' feel, and that is just wrong. No competent jazz musician would ever do that.People say what great educators they are. Well if that's true, why don't they take some time to study the style, and play it properly.
