"It seems to me that the difference between a boring and a non-boring music delivery has to do with where the beat is in relation to the rest. And isn't that also the definition of swing/groove? I can't express clearly concepts I don't master, but in essence this would mean that without a heartbeat music is "dead"."
laruent, i see what you are saying...far as i know swing describes jazz & groove describes a bunch of other genres...anyway my original point was that the reviewer was disappointed that joni's songs did not swing which i thought was silly because i would not expect that of a full orchestra arrangement... ******************************************** Kate Bennett: www.katebennett.com Sponsored by Polysonics/Atlantis Sound Labs Over the Moon- "bringing the melancholy world of twilight to life almost like magic" All Music Guide ********************************************
