Again frog, thanks for your explanations.
I didn't intend to suggest that Garland's specific style was like many other pianists, simply observing that many now use some combination of block cording and single note lines. And I have the "Milestones" album so have heard that "Billy Boy" many times.
My basic point here is that after listening to jazz in general for several decades, and having heard many of the linked numbers posted here multiple times, because of my lack in musical knowledge, I'm even now learning some insights on structure and presentation. That provides an avenue to listen anew. Much of the musically technical information you posted quickly went over my head. But grasping just the basics of it should expand my listening.
