Charles,

In my experience, if it sounds good it IS good.


And if some of the other musicians complain, it is usually because you are doing something different and new - at least to them - and is often a sign that you are on the right track.

History shows us that back when Diz and Bird were busy experimenting and inventing Bebop, the musicians around them harped, moaned and complained about it as well **grin**

Of course, if whatever innovation you come up with manages to "catch on" - then all too soon those same musicians will be telling you how to do it!

Human nature, I guess.

But I kinda dug the groove, and as Matt already said, I could jam to it.
