Whatever you settle on, you have to hear the last pages of the Rite under Ozawa. They are just incredible. The Chicago SO swing like the Basie band - and I'm sure a lot of them are no strangers to jazz scores.
There's a knack to making a big band swing - the bass needs to be slightly ahead of the rest so it gives the impression of "pushing" the ensemble. And the brass, of course has to be very sharp and on the beat. You get all this and more..... marvellous!
Listen from 31.00 on. This is real S-Y-N-C-O-P-A-T-I-O-N
