Nothing wrong with debating Ed, took some beatings but learned a ton.

Take the grumpy bitch on I say

now there's the spirit!

I'm just curious where all these 2-3 post count guys are coming from in this thread.

Avant-Garde appréciation society? I actually know Brad so he's legit.

I really enjoy Derek Bailey's music, and he literally wrote the book on improvisation. For any who do also, might like to read Kaiser's interviews of Bailey in 1975 and 1987, or to listen to the duets they created, use your Google-words. Bailey was best known for a 175 and a volume pedal but used many setups. And sometimes prepared his guitars. Bailey's recordings and Kaiser's too are easy to find.

You're aware that nearly everything you just said made zero sense, right?

If you read this entire thread, and then my post, and you still find my post incomprehensible, then I apologise. We probably have a cultural difference that makes it hard for us to communicate.

No, no. I understood the words. It was the thoughts they represented that didn't make much sense. Derek Bailey wrote the book on improvisation (I'll ignore the all-too-common misuse of the word "literally")? If all it takes is playing gibberish notes and noises with no sense of melody or timing to be a "great avant garde improv musician," then I should be heralded as a god. That, or I'm wasting my time writing music people actually want to hear.

Too late, when we were in New York I made a contract with Eddie Degenaro to only call him God, in exchange for which Ed arranged for me to meet Ray Gomez.

You are unable to use Google. Derek Bailey, author of Improvisation: Its Nature And Practice In Music, published 1980 and again in 1993. https://www.amazon.com/Improvisation-Its ... 0306805286.
