You can either learn fast but inaccurate or you can learn slow and accurate. Jazz musicians are used to being told the time and the general sound 2ord for the music not the precise notes

[@torduc22]

Jazz musicians have some of the strongest fundamentals and flexibility at the same time - you will never go wrong with hiring them for almost gigs imo. Like a jazz drummer for example can play rock, pop, indie, alternative, r&b grooves, and even metal to certain extent for you.

[@elissaaleph]

Is Kurt Rosenwinkel someone who was recording in the 1960's? There was a small movement of jazz musicians called Third Stream who were arranging jazz tunes for traditional quartets/quintets supplemented by string & woodwind sections.

[@jokubask5309]

​@@Thomas-ps9qk atleast for me it's much harder to play a piece on the fly. So saying that the original piece is better is illogical, because you can't compare an improvisation with a composed/rehearsed piece, the composed piece will sound "better" because it was rehearsed, but the improvised one (in this case) although not as "good" sounding, shouldn't be compared to the original piece, since improvising at that level is really difficult and masterful.

For anyone who's interested, here is more info on the guy in this video (Cory) from Wikipedia! Cory Pesaturo is an American musician from Cumberland, Rhode Island. Pesaturo is an accordion player, who also plays the piano, clarinet, and saxophone. He began playing at the age of nine, and in 2002, became the youngest person to win the National Accordion Championship.[1] In 2009, he won the Coupe Mondiale World Digital Accordion Championship in Auckland, New Zealand, and became the first American to win a World Accordion Championship since Peter Soave 25 years earlier.[2] In 2011, Pesaturo who had previously stopped playing acoustic accordion, won the Primus Ikaalinen World Acoustic Accordion Championship, while additionally being its first ever American contestant.[3] Furthermore on the world titles, Pesaturo used his own arrangements for the band, improvised most of the performances, and played on borrowed accordions; all of which were unheard of in world accordion championships. In 2017, he broke the Guinness World Record for the longest continuous playing of the accordion, which was sponsored by Red Bull from his relationship with the Red Bull F1 Team.[4] In 2009, Cory won the Leavenworth International Championship, and International Jazz Championship, along with performing in 5 different continents which included the countries of Canada, Italy, New Zealand, Tunisia and Japan. Pesaturo is one of only four accordionists in history to win a World Championship on both acoustic and electronic accordion, and is the only person to also win a world championship in jazz.
