In Reply to: Jazz is all about the moment . . . posted by Allan Songer on April 7, 2007 at 19:57:35:
My main objection is the how much of an oversimplification your statement is. You make it sound like the moment is *all* there is. But much jazz takes a lot of thought and preparation and even though the moment of performance is critical, the preparation exists inside and informs the moment and results in something that is greater than the moment.There are also plenty of highly composed jazz compositions that require preparation, care, and respect for what was written. And it's also true that a great classical soloist must be in the moment along with developing a useful relationship to the composed piece.
