Hurry back for jazz (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trad

'jazz' is the definition.
(trad jazz is a type of jazz)

'hurry back' is the wordplay.
'hurry' becomes 'dart' (darting is a kind of hurrying).
'back' is a reversal indicator.
'dart' back-to-front is 'TRAD'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for trad that I've seen before include "Form of folk or jazz" , "Type of jazz or folk" , "Style of jazz" , "music" , "(Of jazz) traditional" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
