Play a jazz/big band tune

[Inchworm]

I admittedly know very little about jazz, so this will be a learning experience for me.

I just wanted to bridge the "play a blues tune" thread to contemporary stuff. How better to do so than to add syncopation and backbeat. Hmmm.. I guess backbeat is in blues too. I'm not real sure what syncopation is. I'm guessing it is out of the ordinary stressing/not stressing of beats. That makes jazz the best candidate in my mind.

Duke Ellington is the only jazz name I can think of :P
