I think this epitomizes Clazzimprov. I love this place between harmony and dissonance.

Actually it's moving around between these two qualities, and I've noticed that I usually play a melodic line that is even as tonal as a diatonic melody, over more dissonant moving harmony below. This is such a common way for me to play freely that I will most likely have to develop more approaches as I tire of this "style". I'm proud that the style, at least the way I play it, is very original, but I don't want to be stuck anywhere or too predictable.

I have a wish to perform music like this in public. For the last ten to twelve years I have been developing my free style as a soloist, and I've always liked to improvise in a duo setting. A larger group size could be wonderful with the right amount of listening and dedication to the music over anything else at the time by all involved. Now that I'm in New York I can find this here and everything in this paragraph can come true. Yess!
