ok here goes...one of the many types of jazz is Free Jazz. It could be the place John Coltrane was at the end of his life, or with people like SunRa, Matthew Shipp, Ravi Coltrane, David S. Ware, Charles Lloyd, Wayne Shorter, William Parker, John Zorn, Sam Rivers, on and on.
These musicians hear in a different way. Some hear/feel in a swung eight note, some feel in open time, some feel in no specific time or pulse.
Many of the solos are played over the notes of one cord, or a steady riff/grove, or open... with everyone interpreting everyone's solo at the same time.
Sometimes the melodies are beautiful, but sometimes they are dark, confusing, sad, ugly, or hard to find.
The question is do you ever listen to any type of Free Music, do you see anything interesting in it at all.
This is SunRa, not a favorite of mine, but I find this interesting, and can appreciate free music if its not noise and too abrasive.
Life just is not a beautiful melody every day.
Say what you feel!!
