Re: [Harp-L] Re: Let's talk Little Walter

This is playing free of the metric time while being responsible to  it.
 
Once you have the feel of the groove and the tempo engraved in your soul,  
you have the ability to ignore them and phrase however you wish, as long as  
you are able to catlike land on your feet. 
 
This truly feels like flying and is a very addictive endeavor - careful not 
 to overdo it....

The  thing that always fascinated me about Little Walter is that his 
measures  didn't always lay perfectly over the top of the measures being 
played.  Sometimes he was a half measure ahead and sometimes he was a 
couple beats  behind. But, harmonically, it fit. I've heard a lot of jazz 
vocalists do  this as well. You really have to feel it rather than try to 
count it. It's  like that secret spice that brings a recipe to life and 
captivates the  taste buds.
