Probably 2 or 3. ;-) The weird becomes normal by repetition, and I don't like repetition. Also, the boundaries mainly involve the boundaries of my own abilities

Probably 2 or 3. ;-) The weird becomes normal by repetition, and I don't like repetition. Also, the boundaries mainly involve the boundaries of my own abilities and the sensibilities of musicians who are gracious enough to tolerate hiring me.
I'm not good or prominent enough to have a hope of affecting boundaries in a widespread fashion.
- analog31 4y agoI should add, after reading the other comments here, that it's definitely 3. The notion of being "art-y" sticks in my craw, and would seem out of place if you actually observed the process of preparing for a performance, and the performance itself. You wouldn't guess that it was a jazz performance by looking at or talking to any of the participants. The things that propel this activity are really pretty primitive: A love for the music itself, a feeling that it "deserves" to be performed, even if to a limited audience, pride in the craftsmanship involved, and the social hang.
