Post Subject: "In The Moment"Posted by Paul S on: 8/7/2024
For me, one of the great things about Jazz is that it is "taking place in the here and now". However much the artrist practices and/or reherses, my own experiences suggested to me at the time that the "improv" I heard was very much in/of the Moment. And hearing "the same" number on different occasions, there were differences, to be sure, ie., the piece was not "played the same". Certainly some artists were/are better than others at improvisation, whatever that entails, and this is true whether we are citing Miles or Gould. Perhaps the listener has to "grant something" to the musician in order to hear and "relate to" improvisation. It makes me so happy that I can still relate to "expression" in recorded works that I have heard MANY times.
