Most agree that jazz must contain improvisation, but even that concept is a new to some. When looking at the practitioners of what we call jazz, this idea works... but what about all the others who improvise. When you ask that guy with the black rimmed glasses and the scarf that's far too cool, "Is Angus Young a jazz player?" After using a man-purse full of words irrelevant to the question, he replies,"No way man!" But he fits the bill right?... He improvises? Would you be brave enough to say, he is a jazz player, but he's just not that versatile? I say he is a jazz player and a great one. Maybe energy makes jazz... energy received (from the player to the player) and produced(from the player to others)
