4. Winton Plays Trumpt and Piano, but writes for the whole band

If you saw any of the previews of the Burns series, you know that Winton wrote the score -- except, obviously, for the original source material (Glenn Miller, Bing Crosby, etc.)

And I've been listening to jazz, in MANY forms, for about 35 years. To say Winton missed the mark on this score -- in a particularly annoying way -- is not to say I don't love his other stuff. No artist is "great" all the time, my friend.
