69. You're misinformed about jazz. Improvisation is its essence. Go to Youtube and listen to...
John Coltrane's "My Favorite Things." Since you like melodies, it starts off with the melody of the popular Christmas song, but see where he and the group take it, then come back to the melody, then take it out elsewhere again. Also note the piano player, McCoy Tyner. His contribution to the piece is sublime. Btw, Coltrane plays a soprano sax on this.
It's about creativity. I mean what's the point of sticking to the melody of every song, anyone with a horn can do that and everyone would sound the same. Boring. You'll learn something. |
