Rock music always conjures up imagery of all sorts for me. Jazz, which is just a bunch of random notes, has the very opposite effect. It aims for a very posh atmosphere but all it winds down to is a bunch of noodling.
And if I decide to devour various cheeses, sip red wine and rent pent houses everytime I listen to jazz I will quickly run out of money.
John, do any of your kind suggestions have a more fervant approach to soloing? Like rock soloing in a jazz context maybe?
