RE: [Harp-L] ANSWERED!!!!! 15 whole questions for TOOTS from his fan club!

[robert mcgraw <harpbob@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

>> 14. How would you describe your basic improvisational approach? For example: Do you consider yourself an ear player or do you think in terms of tonal centers and 'appropriate' scales or licks built on those scales or do you approach improvisation on chord by chord basis, applying a bag of licks to each?
> I like to know to witch scales and cords I build or respond to, but it depends also a little bit of the subject and what is expected from me
---Sounds like Toots uses his knowledge as well as his ears...of course. The whole person makes music: intuition, ears, instincts, knowledge...right and left brain united.
