That area is where I find the magic of music to dwell in! The less chord instruments involved, the cooler all chord changes sound - when only implied by a plethora of melody lines! It may also be true about solo flute pieces. > You can listen to a > musician at a performance, and usually tell within the first 10 > minuted > whether they think like a jazz musician or a conventional or pop > musician. On some occasions I have been amazed, when playing with bands in extremely loud and aggressive concepts, to find that those musicians also listen and adapt the same way that jazzers do. But the line is so much more delicate in metal - you are already burning at 95 percent and only have those five last percent to work with. In jazz things are a lot easier because you may have 70 percent at your disposal for adapting within the group. Just a finding that amazed me ;-) > I wish you played more avant-garde jazz, Per. That's the "label" some people like to put on my noise making. I'm not one of them though ;-) I do love some Albert Ayler recordings though. Does avant-garde jazz still exist? How do you play it without sounding "avant-garde jazz- ish"?
