As a jazz musician with an open mind (self-declaration) to an intersection of jazz and improvised music, I look so to speak, from the edge belonging to the improvised scene. A rare perspective. I have read with interest the article by Thomas Meyer and the many responses.
crept over me, too, sometimes have the feeling that 2010 is a style "improvised music" exists that is attached to a fine musty smell. I feel, however, not as a further disturbing corruption has indeed already used. As stated by many panelists before me already, but has the attitude of free improvisation, none of its relevance, let alone lost a large impact. (By the way, can what is much less known, are also jazz an attitude.)
An interesting point for me but I would still appeal: In the same section as criticizes the improvisation is indeed now study at universities and therefore belong not to the "Underground" or "avant garde" (by definition, the only place where "real" creativity take place?), but the "main team" to little later lack of social relevance to complain. What a contradiction! I want someone who believes it to know, explain the location of the underground and mainstream is probably the brainwashing, the various television stations and newspapers run a free daily. There actually takes place or improvised music or jazz, or contemporary music, but luckily there are still other socially relevant places. In the highly segmented, modern society, the terms mainstream and underground is hardly enough anymore. Similar thoughts can
jumps to the "end of history" the way we observe in cultural pessimists in various musical and artistic fields. In fact, the improvised music is so wide and varied as ever, and therefore the social impact is greater than ever. However, there is no one who could claim the sovereignty of interpretation. Is there perhaps the core of the problem?
I also think that (against the "system"?) The requirement of the "resistance" of the "50 +" generation, or any self-appointed vanguard by order of the day and ultimately the ideology has been transformed into a pose. Members of younger generations are likely to resist, if they deem it necessary, not always will the the older generation but also to recognize, let alone acknowledge.
