The expansion of private and domestic entertainment in recent years has accelerated greatly. Humanity, not only in the West, is reached and receives musical information through the TV, PCs, IPods, etc., wherever one is, in the house, in the car, out for a walk in the middle of nowhere or in chaotic traffic.
Sounds tell us of public entertainment, the only conceivable means up to a few decades ago. They talk to us not only about concerts, theatre in its various forms but also about cinema. They deceive us into reacting to de-individualization processes by taking refuge in a sphere of individual interests that we consume in our free time, very often when we move from one place to the other.
The lack of dialogue between closed and isolated spectators and the absence of contact between whoever does and whoever receives are the pivots of subordination to the dictates of production.
The elements of our repertoire, starting from a common interest for jazz and improvisation, are based on the lost world of musical theatre, but also on the elements that constituted those sound archetypes that are oral traditions.
