Quote: You're lazily using the word interpretation.
Jazz is an oral (and aural) tradition, and therefore, the way that jazz musicians approach a tune is going to be markedly different from how classical musicians--who come from a notated tradition--approach a composed piece.
Bryan,
Forsooth, doth ye call me lazy? You are entitled to your opinion I guess. The musicians I worked with in the jazz world were all fantastic sight readers, and most including me had a background in music of the Western European Tradition, which is often referred to as classical music. When I learned clarinet I learned it from that classical tradition. When I learn a piece of music, any music, it is neither from an aural or oral tradition, it is from the ink on a piece of paper. Having said that, the music is not the ink on the paper, that is just what we have to work with, and we try to make a piece of music out of it. I would be lost without the music, and have come from a notated tradition from day one. I just happen to be able to improvise, and read chord changes when it is called for. In order to make a living in the music business I had to be able to play with a major symphony one day, a Broadway show the next, and perhaps a big band the following day. I look at it as being well rounded. To me it is all music. Bach was famous for his ability to improvise. In the end everyone has their own interpretation, and each of us plays differently. I see that as a good thing. It's just music, it won't hurt you.
