What excites you about a band?


The Chameleon

This thread is turning into improv vs songs and it's sad and predictable that the improv side is winning.

The irony is that everyone seems to believe that "improv" is what we hear when we listen to jambands. Most people would run screaming from the room if they heard a *real* improv artist, like John Zorn or someone like that.

Whoa fellas don't count me in that bunch I love Derek Bailey, Sonny Sharrock, Pharoah Saunders, David Murray, Roscoe Mitchell and many other Free improvisors.

The distinction is that you guys are makinng is "Free Imporvidation" vs. "Tonal Improvisation".

I love both....... And I never run screaming.
