It's been interesting to follow the discussion regarding improvisation.
I must disagree with the comment of being foolish to improvise on tunes
one has never heard. Although I do not improvise, a situation that I
hope to remedy in the future, I am a huge fan of dixieland music. I
witnessed several "fools" at the Sacramento Jazz Jubilee performing
songs that they had never heard previously. And they did a darn good
job of it.
