After the festival I listened back to recordings and it seemed as every recording sounded uniquely different - and also different from what I heard while playing :-)) I don't see this as total flaw, because you may stick to a musical style where such discrepancy doesn't matter much or even plays a contextual role? I think we're eventually misunderstanding each other somewhere in this discussion? It shouldn't be associated with "doing a lot of work" to play musically, listening to each other to stick with the same tempo and key etc. Normally that's the most easy task in music because that's what sounds best to every one and simply the direction any group improvisation naturally gravitates to.
