  • @edjhennessy he should start by removing the hat if heat is an issue ;)

  • This man is way out there

  • At first I thought, couldn't Taylor dress up a little? Wearing a sweat suit isn't the classiest thing to do on a professional video recording. Then I noticed the sweat stains around his neck and underarms. Playing the way he does, under hot studio lights, must be quite the draining exercise. I guess gym clothes was a smart idea after all.

  • it's free jazz and it's awesome !

  • it's free jazz !

  • knows

  • @keithnedko : it is called 'intertextuality', when he quotes...

  • @2300skiddo i agree, lots of material in there is tonal and melodic- there are some often repeated blues licks in there. like stravinsky and bartok he's just adding a lot of harmonic colour, sometimes quite dissonant. check out anthony pateras from australia....
