RAMman's point of view is right on, as far as I'm concerned.
Incidentally, if we were feeling extra concerned about Copland's sacred vision for the Concerto, we'd all insist on his first version of the piece, which Goodman considered to be too difficult and would not play. Neidich recorded this first version serval years ago. But it doesn't really matter which version you choose to play, does it? To swing or not to swing the "with humor, relaxed" portion? Who cares?! I certainly don't, as long as it is played with humor and in a relaxed way and all involved enjoy the show. Actually, check that. Play it in an angry and uptight way if you want to, as long as you mean it.
