- Stop-time is, according to Samuel A. Floyd Jr., "a musical device in which the forward flow of the music stops, or seems to stop, suspended in a rhythmic unison, while in some cases an improvising instrumentalist or singer continues solo with the forward flow of the meter and tempo. Such stop-time moments are sometimes repeated, creating an illusion of starting and stopping, as, for example, in Scott Joplin’s 'The Ragtime Dance' and Jelly Roll Morton’s 'King Porter Stomp'."{{Incomplete citation|date=May 2010|reason=page, book title, year}}
The above quote needs a citation, especially given these "wonderful" books [http://books.google.com/books?id=R8KW91291_UC&pg=PA575&dq=%22stop-time%22+samuel+floyd+jr.&ei=W8n0S_aNKIPmlQSorsWnCQ&cd=3#v=onepage&q=%22stop-time%22%20samuel%20floyd%20jr.&f=false]. Hyacinth (talk) 05:31, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
