            In jazz music, the ability to improvise with soul, creativity, and individuality, while still remaining organically connected to the sound being put out by the band as a whole.
            The ability to swing is what distinguishes a good jazz player from a bad one. Lack of soul (Kenny G) or showboating (Jaco Pastorius toward the end of his career) are antithetical to swing.
            Normally used in the context of acoustic jazz, but equally applicable to fusion, jazz-funk, etc. Not be confused with swing as a genre. (While a good Swing musician must know how to swing, one can swing in just about any genre involving improvised music).
