Hello,
I have a Copland concerto part that has Copland's notes in the margins (my teacher performed it several times with Copland conducting). In a couple of places, he writes "jazz!", in other parts, he writes "straight". As Duke Ellington said "there are only two kind of music; good and bad". Who cares if there is jazz or if there is not jazz in a piece of music?: the Copland Concerto is great music!
