@Brain Miller; was also looking for R. Carlos Nakai and came across this. Wondering if its considered improv symphony?
Always wondered whether the writers on Breaking Bad knew they would end the series with this song. It was perfect.
That Larry Carlton solo!
Well, it's the UBC Symphonic Wind Band. They are definitely being directed with specific cues in a narrative score yet appear to be communicating with each other in the moment (improvising) with sound, light, and movement, so I guess so. Reminds me of and is more abstract to me than György Ligeti's - Lux Aeterna; the "voice" of the 2001 A Space Odyssey monolith, that is a fully notated score. I have played trumpet and percussion in wind bands and am too darned ADD to count a percussion part in Lux...
I am a simple man preferring consonant harmonies; "the combination of pitches in a chord which are agreeable or easy to listen to and make pleasing sounds" versus dissonant harmonies which are "a combination of pitches in a chord which are relatively harsh and grating." Lux worked for me accompanied by the imagery in the film, but as stand alone music I can't interpret it or American Ledger (No. 1); "a narrative score for performance, telling the creation story of the founding of the United States of America. In chronological descending order, moments of contact, enactment of laws, events of violence, the building of cities, and erasure of land and worldview" into an image in my mind that makes any sense to me.
They are all obviously extremely gifted and accomplished musicians that enjoy breaking the bondage of notation evoking feelings in an audience having brilliant minds that can interpret it.

Hendrix, Buddy Miles and Billy Cox.
I was not familiar with that version, thanks exposing me to it. Band of Gypsys was the best of Jimi. Buddy Miles brought so much to the group.

Thanks Brian... I kind of got the creation story vibe when the guy started splitting wood... but using it as percussion is way new to meWell, it's the UBC Symphonic Wind Band.

Steelhead
Love Gaucho. The groove of that album is amazing and it hits you in the first bar of each song. Jazzy punk.
