RCM Grade 8 Piano Examination: How do you play a jazz piece?

One of my chosen pieces is Jazz Exercise No. 2 by Oscar Peterson, my question is do you swing eights when you play it during the exams? Or do you play the eights like regular? Will the they deduct marks if you swing the eights? Thanks.|||No they will not.


As long as your interpretation is stylistically correct.


It's just like playing Chopin with rubato.
