From Rev. Bob:
A Greek bandleader wasn't happy when his regular drummer sent a a young jazz player as a substitute on a traditional dance job. After the first set, he took the youngster aside. "Look, kid," he said, "forget about all that Elvin Jones stuff. Just give me a simple afterbeat on two and five."
The used-to-be drummer in me laughs at this. The present day writer/arranger in me says "Oh, yeah. And a hit-hat accent on 3-e would be nice, too".
