"Certain kinds of speed, flow, intensity, density of attacks, density of interaction... Music that concentrates on those qualities is, I think, easier achieved by free improvisation between people sharing a common attitude, a common language"

About this Quote

This quote by Evan Parker speaks to the power of totally free improvisation in music. He recommends that particular qualities, such as speed, flow, intensity, and density of attacks and interactions, are easier to accomplish when artists are improvising together. This is due to the fact that they share a common mindset and language, which allows them to communicate and communicate more effectively. This is in contrast to a more structured technique, where artists are playing predetermined parts and are less able to engage with each other in the very same way. Parker's quote highlights the importance of improvisation in producing music that has lots of energy and feeling. It also recommends that when musicians are able to communicate and engage with each other in a meaningful method, they have the ability to develop music that is more effective and expressive.
