...just the opposite of the stiff band. They depend on the ear of the listener to hold the idea of a steady beat and then they begin go play behind it. This is the famous "colored lag," that which takes years to develop, and which most white bands never get...
...same hag"; in other words, plays as a unit the same amount behind the beat. That's why all new bands, bands of all-stars, bands mixing two beat and four beat men are bad. You can't have a mixture of ideas about the "proper lag" and get the swing. For unity, a really good swing band must make a football team look like the Tower of Babel...

Another second-year man, Harry Blaine, constitutes their major opposition. Schoenberg and Redmon may either take turns at the reducing task or perhaps a definitely superior combination of the two may be established...
