Hello,Hopefully, in jazz there is a live on-the-spot interplay and exchange of ideas within the ensemble. A live conversation of sort between the players. One of the players in the rhythm section can make a comment (play something) that can take the soloist and tune in a totally new direction from one performance to the next. Something as simple as the drummer riding on a different cymbal or different chord voicings from a piano player that changes the feel and takes the musicians into new territory.
For me, this is the beauty and magic of jazz.With a classical piece I would think that a solist in the cadenza has some room to improvise but nowhere near the freedom for adventure as a soloist in a jazz setting.
To me with classical the creativity in most part comes obviously from the composition itself. It amazes me that the great composers heard all those little parts in their head, the orchestration of all those instruments, and to end up with a masterpiece symphony.
It's ironic, that it is from the strict learning of your craft, learning all the rules, the technique, the form of the tune, chordal and rhythmic structure, and so on ..... that affords a musician his creativity and freedom.
Enjoy,
Tom
