Vance, you raised an interesting issue.  Too many musical analyses focus
on pitch
issues as if music were a flat document on a page instead of an
interaction of people
playing instruments.  We should be paying more attention to the sense of
ensemble, the
interaction among performers, etc.  Not that I'm against analysis of
pitch content,
but maybe the pendulum has swung too far in that direction.  The same
for pop music.  The notion
of "tracks" has influenced things to the point of virtually obliterating
any sense of dialog
among performers.  Such dialog is clearly present in earlier styles such
as old Boogie Woogie
recordings.
