Avant-garde philosophies provide precarious but often brilliant edges to how open or free improvisation function in Jazz. Complex, chaotic, and often dissonant, this sub-genre challenges traditional structures, and when transcendent, incorporates an advanced and unconventional level of mastery. In this regard, drummer Willy Rodriguez has spent his entire professional career preparing to explore these unique types of musical relationships.
