> love all sorts of music, play live, jam and compose...don’t get jazz But what is your definition of "jam" then? Is it improvised at all? I have the opposite approach; I like classical music very much and have listened to it a lot, but for many years now I've only been improvising; the idea is to sound in real time as if it were composed and practiced; meanwhile I can play a whole band live myself (e.g. http://rochus-keller.ch/?p=1268 http://rochus-keller.ch/?p=1268). I've always found it a torture to read and learn a piece and always play it back the same (correct) way.
