I've always loved bebop and jazz (it's what i went to school for the first time around), Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk are prob my 2 fav's...

Ironically, one of my favorite Miles tunes was written by Monk... lol
Listen to the solo starting at 1:00 going to 3:05.... that's improv, never to be played the same way again - never written down, or rehearsed. Total on the fly music composition. That's what it means to be a jazz musician, and it's not something a lot of people appreciate. Miles davis wasn't the most technical player, I mean, he's amazingly good - but there were people who played faster, longer, louder, and higher - but IMHO no one, and I mean NO ONE TO DATE, has had the same QUALITY of ideas flowing through them when it comes to music....
