OK so this sheds light. So in a way, we are both playing off the others. Being's I don't really speak the language of jazz, it seems to me that the players....at times....to me....it seems like they aren't listening to one another and just playing the song individually. For instance like during a hard bop sax solo. On paper I know that sounds pretty bad, and I know that can't be the way it is, but to someone who isn't hip to the language...that's how it seems....at times. It feels disconnected to me, even though my logical mind knows there is a connection. I just can't grasp it a lot of the time. Jazz is on a much higher level than I am capable of understanding....at this point in my journey anyway.
I think you are perfectly capable of understanding it 100% Lar.... I think what makes it all murky to you is simply the lack of time spent with it
just a different language thats all
