Scatting to Hank Mobley's solo on If I Should Lose you.

Past saying that most "swing" today seems relatively flat-lined to me in terms of inter-phrasical dynamics, no.

How true.

Not that I'm necessarily right in this particular instance, but that was, now that I think of it, exactly the feeling I had while listening to Mark Turner and Avishai Cohen in concert  about six months ago. All the pieces were in 4/4, the rhythmic underpinnings were fairly steady and kind of "cooking," but it was all "flat-lined in terms of inter-phrasical dynamics," thus no swing. Why then I wondered not drop the pretense (or what you will) of "swinging" and discover/uncover/place in the foreground one's likely "prose" rhythmic thinking? I mean, why have a metrical framework bubbling along when no one interacts with it?

Monk's advice, "When you're swinging, swing some more."

Well, I'd go see her if she were in the area.  Not sure I could get my wife to go along though

Why, doesn't she like vocal jazz?

Most women don't like jazz with an exception for (some) vocal jazz.  Go to a concert by David Murray for example (or Mal Waldron, Steve Lacy a.s.o., in the past) and you don't see women. As it is in the Netherlands.

Nope, especially male singers.

Cute! I remember when I had to take my flute exam and had to practice for that, my cat tried to make me stop by coming as close as she could get. I guess cats do not like any kind of wind instrument.
