Swing

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).
Man, that sax player sure knows how to swing.

I wasn't feeling the band last night. They kept trying, but they just couldn't swing.

SinX

1. Assassin Cross in Ragnarok Online.
2. One of the more unbalanced classes in Ragnarok Online, often chosen due to it's tendency to hit hard and fast. Very popular with players who choose it because a) it is aesthetically one of the cooler looking classes, b) it is a completely offense-oriented class thus great for solo-ing, or c) it is an overpowered advanced job class in PvP.
