Some thoughts on this interesting discussion.  @audio-b-dog , welcome to the thread! I greatly appreciate it when someone shows great passion for this great art form.  One of its beauties is how it (any art) can touch each of us differently and...

Big Jazz Band Music with Great Sound
I’ve read your uncle’s book, @simonmoon.  A very enjoyable read and love the title.   He was a very fine pianist (and composer) in the style of that era. https://youtu.be/eHWNMxJhGHc?si=n45Wdfi-gwbrT7WO
