The Gregson can be a bit sing-songy, but 1st and 3rd movement tempi are significantly cranked (probably at least 20 beats/minute in both cases) + offer a true jazz interpretation in the 3/4 swing section (and bend some of those half notes that drop down a minor third on beat 3, etc.) the Gregson can be "sold" to an audition committee...with a good accompanist.
