While driving somewhere with Frank Tirro, (Past Dean of the Yale School of Music and author of a recent history of jazz book) I asked him how I could learn about styles of playing so that I would win auditions. He said that one should be true to ones self and eventually an employer would want what one has. That advice I never forgot. It's the "smooth" way through life. I would have expected it from a jazz guy. DG
