Thanks for your detailed answer, Arensky. We are all, no doubt, the product of our previous experience whether we like it or not. I hadn't realised the issue was quite so intensely jazz related.
You're right about jazz musicians being just as pedantic as classical ones, perhaps more so. I was once virtually shown the door by a proficient jazz pianist for daring to suggest a new way of looking at a chord. The conversation, which up until then had been very amicable and most interesting, took an irreversible turn for the worse.
