Yes, well said, I know what you mean very very well, I try to explain sometimes to people that this is what Jazz does to me, as did Progressive Rock. But Jazz is all about improvisation, you play the main theme of the song and away you fly, somewhere else, into the void, into the sky....the listener hopefully flies away with the musicians, another world and a complete other worldy experience, like an acid trip, your mind leaves your body behind....Catatonia haha. It transcends the mind.
It feels vaguely familiar to countless other moments in your life where you were absorbed in a zone, lost in thought, enthralled by bliss, or perhaps simply zoned out of the everyday...meditating.
Theres been times when my wife has asked me a question and I dont really hear her, I think she knows when not to ask!
But the musicianship has to be first rate, like a John Coltrane Sax solo, like Hendrix at Woodstock, he could do things on his Sax that you didnt think were possible.
But this is the power of music. What I would have given to be a part of something like this.
But as I listen, maybe I am part of it.
Anyway please forgive my ramblings, I think I could talk about music all day long :)
