Jazz like this? Suggestions

So, you mean: Jazz absent the improvisational; aspect?

That ain't Jazz!  

@stuartk    There is nothing wrong with improvisation per se.

But necessarily if a a large percentage of performances are mainly improvisational. performers will be unable to maintain a high standard for many of them.  Absent the ones that could be classed as 'poor', many will tend to be similar and continue for lengthy periods along similar lines.  I think this is what FZ meant by 'noodling'.  I might call it 'being on the road a while but not getting far' or, perhaps, 'taking the long way around'.  Some might find too much of this tedious.

As in all things, quality is what counts.

MRQ is kinda like soundtrack music…for like a melodrama.  You need to dig deeper till your mind becomes one with the multiverse!  Eventually you must confront your inner 60’s jazz club hipster avatar and listen to John Coltrane live at the Village Vanguard.  I believe in you!
