Stomp with energy in jazz (5)
I believe the answer is:
tread
'stomp' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'energy in jazz' is the wordplay.
'energy' becomes 'e' (physics symbol as in E=mcr).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'jazz' becomes 'trad' (trad jazz is a type of jazz).
'e' inserted within 'trad' is 'TREAD'.
'with' is the link.
(Other definitions for tread that I've seen before include "Walk heavily" , "Step (heavily)" , "Depth of grooving in a tyre" , "Grooves on tyre" , "Walk; part of tyre" .)
