Why is improvisation important in jazz?
Improvisation is one of the defining elements of jazz.
Jazz improvisation is the spontaneous invention of melodic solo lines or accompaniment parts. Improvisation is composing music "on the spot" and important in jazz since freedom and jazz go hand in hand.
What is the essence of my architecture?
My architecture is about motion. In the old days they had decoration. And since I'm modernist I can't do decoration, so I've got to find something to put "feeling" into building and motion is one way. Just like put music into architecture. And I play and improvise with that. When it works, it's feeling great.
