An interesting topic.
GBK plays both, and my high school music teacher (from 60 years ago) was a professional jazz musician first, but played (and taught) classical music as well.
It may be more challenging for classical musicians to learn to play jazz than the other way around - both Shaw and Goodman began with jazz, apparently - and interpretation is very different: our local symphony orchestra performed a Swing concert several years ago and, while they played the notes correctly, it certainly did not "swing".
