@mhdecoursey To the "purists" those "lines" are not artificial and can be seen quite well. So, I tend to agree with the purists.
-
@Tuxster3: All the compositions of the "Big Band" era (see Wikipedia) were written on paper prior to performance. The distinction between classical music and jazz is subtle and slippery. As in many other subjects, a "purist" maintains easy distinctions only by drawing artificial lines that no one else can see. Leonard Bernstein and George Gershwin also romped happily in the borderlands where purists never venture.

Sure, a composer can call his music anything he wants, but there is nothing "jazz" about this music. Great composer though he was, jazz purists would not call this music jazz, and I tend to agree.

wow it certenly must have taken some guts to write a JAZZ suite during stalins rule, in wich jazz was seen as "imperialistic decadent crap"

i see images of the western front in 1916 when i hear this

Yes. I am playing "pavane for a dead princess' on my recital, and Porgy is, after Don Giovanni and the other great Mozart operas, my favorite opera. Such a tragedy that the great Gershwin died at only 36.

@PTCello Wanted to write some words before I read yours. But couldn't be better than yours. But I have to add another two other great names: Gershwin and Ravel.
