Are Jazz Songs Improvised?

If I could catch that kid I'd hit him with my cane.

Don't get excited, Alan, you know how you get.

I think Christian's my age, but he has a young child, so he feels 100 every morning, most likely.

[grahambop]

Thanks for being nice.
Honestly I am not sure you and Christian are serious or not but well I do not think that many persons over 100 years are using computers and writing and forums. I am not sure though.

we’re just messing about. I’m about 60. Christian looks like a teenager to me.

Yeah I think that is true.

[A. Kingstone]

Now I've been chastised twice by whipper-snappers. Maybe this intranets thingy ain't for me.

Whipper snapper.... you have crossed the line... Am I really ”a young and inexperienced person considered to be presumptuous or overconfident.”

Alex: I've been joking this whole thread. I wouldn't hit anyone with a cane and whipper-snapper is an old cliche reference to something an old person (me) might say to a younger person. Sarcasm is tough to read on the internet.

To your original post, check out some JJ Johnson on trombone. I believe he pre-planned his solos.
I hope your liking of jazz grows and you discover the wonderful breadth of emotions it offers.

I'm too soon old and too late schmart.

[lawson-stone]

I wonder if everyone here is old.. it is maybe a weird question. I am only 13 years old but it feels like everyone else here is like 50 or something. That is good though because in that case you can have alot of experience.

We're not just old, we're zombies. Archaeologists study us because we are evidence of lost civilizations. I sleep in a coffin every night.

[sgosnell]

If you sleep in a coffin at night, you're doing it wrong.

Damn. I thought something wasn’t right.

The last estimate I read for the number of guitar players in the world was about 50 million. That is less than one percent of the world population, so you are already in the top 1% of the whole world!

This forum poll was from 5 years ago, so we're all that much older, in general we're a pretty ancient demographic. Hopefully you're tapping some useful wisdom, said no kid ever.

The book the advancing guitarist came to the library today. Gonna check it out after school. The other book has not arriverat yet the one called the jazz theory boom. I think I am gonna lend a real book so that I can train notes and stuff.

[AlexMalmis]

I reserved the real book.

Definitely. I think recording yourself is an excellent way to chart progress and look for things to work on. And nobody has to see it, unless you want them to.

I treat YouTube like a video diary, really...and it helps me keep track of what songs I'm learning, too.
