I find it even more interesting what they need to do to get the music 
into their brains.
as oposed to theater, especially the improvisors are not quite able 
to direct the visual appearence. Distorted faces and strange 
positions are common, especially in Jazz.
One would suspect that the non controling improvizing state lets the 
deep personality appear, but its not quite what I observe.
This reminds also of the habits, voices and expressions that media 
when in trance (another spirit in them, or whatever)
I think the public likes that.
Remember Keith Jarret singing totally out of tune while improvizing 
brilliantely on the piano? How can that happen? Its not theater, I 
think...
