With "most" modern jazz that is....you mean
that, right? There are still jazzers who record live in the studio.
And of course in the olden days, this is how all of them did it...when you
heard an album, it was an actual "record" of an event, not a paste together
collage of parts.
No. I mean even in the olden days they had to
fit that creativity in on demand.
> Of course painter DO have to complete
comissions according to a time scedule. "'Twas ever thus" as the bard would
say. When I wrote music for a living I had very tight schedules but found
that I always found my muse on time. and when we perform live we have a
pre-defined slot in which to pull the musical rabbit out of the
bag.
Well, you admit that some painters don't have
to do this, right? You were generalizing, I suspect...I hope. There
are artists out there who don't actually have to produce art for a living,
and have the luxury of doing what they want and when they want to do
it.
Yes. I was talking about the majority of
professional painters who do not earn massive amounts of money per
comission.

Does anyone actually go into the studio with
the intent of recording all the songs for a looping CD? This would feel
very restrictive and unnatural to me, like trying to force art into a
bottle, or like telling a painter he has to go into a room and complete a
great painting in 6 hours.
