artist is inventive, and will not
sound like or play something
like anyone else does. And, he
will not play or sing a tune the
same way twice.
Jazz performance is the antithesis of tribute classic rock.
With all the freedom inherent
in playing jazz, how does it all
come together without sounding like a train wreck? Like rock
artists, jazz artists share a common body of music in addition
to composing new tunes. In
both genres, signals are used
among the players to indicate
where the song may be going.
Players communicate with a
look or a nod of the head. It’s
fun to note the non-verbal communication among jazz musicians. An audience can get absorbed into following the body
language (including eye and
head movements) of players.
Musicians of all genres communicate this way when they are
at the same level of proficiency.
