Usually. Not always. Stolzman pulls it off pretty well; Edgar Meyer can play damn near anything and sound great, and check out a German cellist named Wolfram Huschke some time. There are others, but I really don't think I need to remind you just how awkward and painfully square the overwhelming majority of classically-trained musicians are when they decide to "let their hair down" and play jazz, that poor, black-sheep relative of "serious" music.
