    I like this comparison, as jazz is not defined by the song being played, but by the way it is played, which explains why it was often, at least early on, used as a verb to describe a musicians treatment of a song that ws being jazzed (actually, initially, it was jassed). So hen a story is "noired," it is as much presentation/treatment of the story as the story itself.
