hey Scott L Berry,
I had a feeling that the Quality conductor was going to touch a nerve with a
rugged individual as yourself but decided to keep it anyways. First I love
the idea of incorporating improvisation so switching to a jazz jam session is
great.
Why I chose to keep the quality conductor part:
There is something guiding a session, harmony, quality, whatever.
Without the quality as conductor how do you distinguish a jazz session with
novices and professionals. There is some "feedback" that I was trying to
incorporate. Maybe conductor is not the best word- your the musician you tell
me what word is good to express what is guiding the jam session.
