Here you can find a small excerpt: "Orchestral instruments, like their players, are expected to eschew individuality and personality while, in a jazz context, the great soloists raise their instruments to a state so human and profane that – in an orchestra setting they would have been, as Raymond Chandler put it, ‘about as inconspicuous as a tarantula on a slice of angel cake’. Orchestras, like national radio stations, learn to speak in received pronunciation, while jazz musicians jive in dialect and slang". 

Enjoy!
