Improving {hopefully} "Rating Improvisation"
In an effort to render my original 11-18-10 thread on jazz improvisation conciser and easier to follow, I will simply pose the following question: Should a piece of jazz music be "judged" as "successful" or not by using the criterion of trying to assess the amount of improvisation that went into it?
Although I suspect what the answer of many of my fellow jazz enthusiasts on this forum to be--and being fully cognizant of how subjective the matter is--I would find input on this issue/question to be quite fascinating and helpful.
p.s. I do hope that this slight "tweaking" has made my thread more readable, understandable--and most importantly of all--more enjoyable and interesting. ray:
