 Re: Improv! Now isn't this a GREAT subject?

As far as I see it, nobody has mentioned the rich and astounding tradition of free improvisation around here; everyone is talking about scales and such, but how come that it´s either straight jazz or the 19th century? Of course Alex is absolutely correct by demanding composition classes for just anyone taking up any instrument, therewith referring to that performing means to compose instantly. A scale does not develop one´s inner ear, it´s just one of the possible attributes of it. A musical form which isn´t a direct consequence of the sound-body taking place is a prison, and a boring one. Great improvisors, be it jazzers, classical (the dreadful 'classical' aera completely obliterated the fact that a cadence once was a virtuoso improvisation; I had to wait for Markus Stockausen to play the Haydn trumpet concerto with a cadence that wasn´t just another couple of bary by a guy some years dead, and he was so great) or avantgarde, were and are astonishing examples of musicianhood and craft to that degree by which they transcended formalism, rules of style and tradition. The young Coltrane didn´t trip once whilst playing the standards, but he was nothing compared to the soaring and ripping all bonds player he became during the last two years of his regrettably short life, just to mention a jazz example. And the clarinet certainly was the "picksuesses hölzl" Mozart loved (talking about the sopranino), but it was W.O.Smith who propelled cl-playing into the contemporary but splitting its sound, one of the very first to come up with multiphonics, improvisatorily.
