[@nfn58]

i don't know if you've ever been to a jazz competition... but that's what all the bands where

[@nfn58]

this is a competition... they wanna look good

[@nfn58]

wear*

[@nfn58]

why wouldn't he sit?

[@rach6st]

well nevermind he is at the front so I guess it would be awkward if he stood.

[@stagebandman]

Maynard Ferguson never did this song

[@Skrothn]

I can understand that, but it still doesn't make much sense given the style. It's sort of like wearing your best suit to the Jerry Springer show. It might make you look nicer but it still doesn't fit the show (given the fighting and whatnot.)

[@Skrothn]

A jazz band wearing ties? WTF? One of the few things in this world that is supposed to be fun and loose turned serious and business-like? This world is going down the crapper.
I love the music but seriousness doesn't work well with jazz.
Oh and BTW you really aren't supposed to hear all the parts on the same instrument but a fusion of the parts. That's the whole idea of having chords. The sounds are supposed to mash together to form one large sound, not many different sounds.

[@rach6st]

eww why is the guitarist sitting.
