One cannot write convincingly of a universal type of human being, for even if it existed, it would lack the compelling reality which inspires poetry.

The true swing man tries to express sincerely, cleanly, and simply at all times the emotions and ideas which he feels. If you play fast, or loud, you stiffen up. The result is no swing...
