I meant that Hines postured as a 1930s' modernist, not a bopper. His 
playing also lacked the emotional element, so that his disciple Jess 
Stacy's playing was that much more satisfying.

But we're getting away from the jazz myths thread, which was about 
things that were demonstrably false.

Another one was that Armstrong's scat vocal on "Heebie Jeebies" was the 
first on record. Don Redman's "My Papa Don't Two-time No Time" (1924) 
was an earlier example. There may well be others.

Was Dicky Wells's "Dicky Wells Blues" the first example of a horn player 
soloing from beginning to end without a break?
