I'm glad you mentioned that movie. On the one hand you 'could' say  
that 1900 bested Jelly, but on the other hand, WHAT did 1900 play? I  
heard something that sounded like what we have been talking about  
over years. I heard a flash bang string of hellaciously fast un- 
corelated  notes, and I can't say it was very melodic. The part where  
1900 lights a ciggie off of the strings is   funny. Hammering strings  
with pads made from horse hair felt will not make them hot.

I found it intriguing that 1900 used that same word earlier in the  
movie when he was about 9. I didn't know the word till I was around  
12-13, and I doubt that it someone born in 1900 would have heard it  
until they were 16.
smo-joe  ...usual disclaimer.my opinion(s)_ of course
