the more I listen to your playing the more experimental it sounds. always rooted in the feel of the time, always floating, the way an idea moves and carves out its own conceptual, meta-linear, creatively reverse-engineered post-bop processed texture {think Bergonzi as a model for how one could rigorously re-theorize jazz from a modular point of view that scrambles quasi-syntax-line-logics / time logics into some sort of machinic assemblage} itself imposed against some other substitute language of some other band member who likely has an entirely different conception of how this whole thing works, resulting in what is sometimes called 'chemistry'.
One thought is that there are fewer and fewer opportunities to play in public. That may foster a tendency to “overdetermine” (😂lol, a college word!) the music. But 🤷♂️, For all I know the leader may be playing standard, song form jazz six nights a week.
