Subject: different performing styles

Following on Mike's comment about percussion in classical and non-classical
music I remember Wynton Marsalis' comment. He was on a tour of the UK in
which he alternated each night between classical concerto concerts with an
orchestra and jazz concerts with a band. The interviewer asked him how he
could possibly stay in style for the different kinds of music and he said:
"I just have to remember that when I am performing jazz the rhythm is taken
care of for me by a drummer, and when I am performing a classical concerto
I have to internalise the rhythm". For him it was as simple as that.
