i dont always play the changes not all the great players did colman,webster and chet baker were self taught chet was said couldent read music,i spoke to a top player when i first started he said learn everything then forget it and let your artistic side take over witch i think happpens subconsiously,i feel for notes sometimes they are wrong but if its in my soul it will come across on my horn,and who is to say im wrong its my interpretation,i hear mistakes on many great recordings,makes it fun

"What does "pwn" mean?What does anything you said mean? I think you're just a musical parasite. You offer opinions on things you know nothing about.Shut the hell up." and you sound like an elitist prick. not my fault you aren't well versed in internet colloquailism. not to mention I was just quoting someone.

"That is misleading. Do they just make stuff up? No.They study - formally or informally. He is repeating old ideas, referenceing someone else ideas, putting things in a new context. He is making things up no more than you are making up a new language everytime you speak." Language isn't art. You are using hours of practice and hopefully a thorough knowledge of theory. Obviously improvisition is not just "making shit up", but the whole point is you are constructing musical ideas onpoint

I was never aware of the bickering between jazz & classical musicians. As a youngster I had equal exposure to both genres, & loved both, & still do. Although I am a jazz musician, my extensive collection of jazz & classical music is about equal. When I hear Isaac Stern doing Mendelsohn's Violin Concerto in E minor, or Sarasate's "Zieguenerwiesen" or Robert Marcellus playing Mozart's Clarinet Concerto, I am not ashamed to say that tears run down my cheeks.Thank you for your remarks.
