GUEST,Stan What Makes 'Swing'? (29) RE: What Makes 'Swing'? 07 Jul 12

I agree with Stim. In swing music the beats themselves are precise and evenly spaced. It's the subdivision of beats that give music a swing feel. Perhaps when JohnInKansas talks about 'straight beats' he is talking about beats divided into two rather than three. If that's the case he is right as well.
