replies: text: Ciao Fellow editors--in the interests of simplicity,  I've amended the proposed text as indicated above and included an additional reference citation for the academic distinction between "Sweet" and "hot" jazz during the 1920s-1930s era and the apparent irrelevance of this arbitrary distinction from the frame of reference enjoyed by leading jazz musicians of the time such as Louis Armstrong and Guy Lombardo.
