"She needs a better backup band, however - those cats just don't swing!"
Which leads to the very good - IMO - question of whether any symphony orchestra can swing? Years ago I was listening to a Boston Pops Concert (Boston Symphony Orchestra) with my Dad and as the orchestra worked its way through a rendition of Benny Goodman's Sing Sing Sing my Dad said, "It's like watching elephants dance." Anyhow, it's my contention that at a certain size an orchestra just can't swing.

She is very good. I particularly liked her cadenza at the end. She needs a better backup band, however - those cats just don't swing!
