Don't get me wrong though, I do love modern jazz and the system I outlined had the most incredible 'air' and 'space'. My problem was that, as with recently, it had no excess power and grunt. I think I need to learn now that I just don't suit valves.

Personally having played in a few minor amateur jazz bands and seen a few live, amateur and famous, I think either statement is far from the truth. In my experience playing in a jazz group requires a clear understanding of what each other is doing and complimenting each other to get a successful presentation of what they are performing and trying to achieve. If one member tries to out do another or goes of on a completely random tack it will result in a breakdown in the musical form and any fluidity, unless that is actually what the group of players want to achieve.
Listening is the act of aural discrimination and dissemination of sound, and accepting you get it wrong sometimes.
