being a jazz organist, i've found looping and jazz to be quite
harmonious. i've been incorporating ethereal looping into jazz
standards for years now.
Pat Martino ... John Abercrombie ... those guys played with hella
organists. John is on 3 amazing Dr Lonnie Smith albums (not to mention
the ECM stuff with Dan Wall), and Martino used to play with Trudy Pitts
and Jack McDuff.
i would recommend playing jazz because you like it though, not just to
loop. that's kind of like a saxophonist playing jazz just because they
want to play a lot of notes.
if you just want gigs a wedding band would pay much better, and involve
more liquor.
