WHAT IS JAZZ IMPROVISATION?
Jazz improvisation is the process of spontaneously creating fresh melodies over the continuously repeating cycle of chord changes of a tune. The improviser may depend on the contours of the original tune, or solely on the possibilities of the chords' harmonies. It has been said that the best improvised music sounds composed, and that the best composed music sounds improvised. Composed music and improvised music may seem to be opposites, but in Jazz they merge in a unique mixture. (Source: answers.com)Page for Page

WOODSHED ENTERTAINMENT COLLECTIVE
This is M. Minchie Israel. My artistic background rests in theatre and radio broadcasting, more specifically Jazz radio. I have done a bit of acting as well as writing and directing for the stage.
Jazz and other improvisations has become the theme of my life outside of regular work. I study the history of Jazz and listen to little else. But do understand that I go by a very broad definition of Jazz, improvised music of any kind and in any sub-style.Now, let’s Jazzz It Up for 2010
Are you a Caribbean Jazz writer, Jazz musician, a producer of Jazz music, or a promoter of Jazz events? The Jazz fans would like to know where the gigs are. Place your schedule on the WEC Jazz calendar. Also, share your reviews and analyses of Jazz music too. The Collective is now accepting Caribbean Jazz recordings (CD's and DVD's) for review on the site. Go to the "Talk To Me" Page for contact details.Email Woodscription
