Reading your post made me realize the courage jazz musicians have. Based on the movies I’ve seen, they play the same club repeatedly. That forces them to improvise every night, before regular fans who have heard what they’ve done previously. How do they not go to work and worry, thinking I might not be able to play off of the others in the band at some point tonight and freeze instead? That is what your post made me think.
