RE: Or Jazz people's way

Jazz people can transpose everything on the spot. (Another way of transposing.)
If they are given a primary note changed any intervals,not necessarily whole tone up or down, from the original, they automatically can transpose any tune on the spot. Classically trained people think for example C(primary tone) in C major as 'fixed' but Jazz people this 'moving' so to speak.
Typical example:harmonica playing. Nobody minds which hole is for C or D, but if given a primary note any child can transpose any tune.
(I think someone Jazz oriented could explain this more concretely. )
