@jazztitch Why does music need a harmonic structure? just because you place harmony as the primary force of music doesn't mean other people have to. Texture, timbre, gesture and rhythm are all fundamental elements to music, why not explore them and bring them to the forefront and not be a slave to harmony?

There's really delicately composed but seemingly unstructured, layered, chaotic sound-bending freeform jazz, and then there's crazy virtuoso wankfests like this. Awful.

I saw him three nights ago here in Montreal and it was unforgettable. A brilliant musician and a real gentleman.

Yes, the only reason he can play like this is because he has a grasp of changes. Learn to get free. Love it.

@jazztitch I can play fast be-bop AND free. And you're completely wrong.

It's posited on a misunderstanding of bebop. Although fast and chromatically dense, bebop was structured - harmonically, above all. Those who couldn't grasp the harmonic element, or be bothered to grasp it, took the speed and energy and jettisoned difficult harmonic control as symbolising a political oppressive old regime. Result: musical bollocks.

Notefall, dewfall, starfall... ineffallble!

@asdraban I think, by "notefall", you may mean "accident"..

I admit that I'm not crazy for Jazz... this piece, to my ear, is just made up of scales without a melody behind. The player has a gr8 technical skill this is clear enough for everybody but I only listen to a long time nonsense notefall. However it's just my ear.. fortunately the music is something that everyone listen to in different way. I'm just asking myself how will it be to listen to an entire concert of this kind of notefall.. what an headache will it be!
more please,thanks.
