The rhythm section, particularly the drums and bass, must be tightly synchronized, while the brass and reed sections should focus on precise timing and expression to elevate the song’s energy. During solo sections, it\u2019s important to keep the swing alive while adding personal interpretation and expression to create dynamic shifts.
