Isn't this thread very 'rock-centric'? I reckon there has historically been fierce competitiveness in jazz. Even pre-jazz, rag-time and barrelhouse piano players would play (sometimes literally) head-to-head in cutting contests. What about jazz horn players, - if you wuz gonna try sitting in on an after-hours session in a Harlem club in the 'forties, - you better have some chops. And what about Chicago blues clubs in the 'Forties and 'Fifties?
The 'cutting' thing has never only been about guitarists, AND goes back way before rock n' roll, in my opinion.
Cheers, all
Karl

"We are all millionaires, billionaires even, because right now we have today. And today is worth more than all the wealth we can imagine. So spend today wisely. Spend tomorrow wisely. Enjoy the wealth of today, and realize it is worth far more than all the money and possessions of tomorrow and beyond." -Brian Austin Whitney
