I play drums, and happen to be a bit of a moaner myself. My vocalization occurs mostly at moments when the groove throughout the band is most intense; it's sort of an emotional overspill in my mind. I am pretty adamant about improvising to the greatest degree possible within the bounds of reasonable taste at all times--I don't like to play anything the same way twice, and actually in my own bands try to move on to new vehicles (tunes) as often as possible. I tend to vocalize less when I'm at the edge of my capabilities, playing something totally new.
I can see your point with someone like Dena DeRose (who can sing exactly what she plays as she plays it) or even Slam Stewart, but Jarrett? What does "nnnnngggggggwweeeeeOOOOOooohhhhh!" have to do with what Jarett plays? Or the vocalizatins of most famous moaners? The correlation is usually vaguely rhythmic at most. I'm all for avoiding licks, but I don't think Jarrett's moaning is what helps him do this. He may even think it does--maybe suppressing it inhibits him in other ways. But to say the moaning is the key to true improvisation as an intellectual process just doesn't make sense to me.
