RE: HydrogenAudio "discusses" audiophile event.

Each member of the jazz combo during soloing "catches a vibe off of each other" and improv ensues. No rehearsals, no second guessing, it happens spontaniously, instantly and emotionally.

It is precisely a small group of like-thinking trained musicians working together on a song within a range of "unexpected" variations. The difference is each "feels" which direction the other is going, on the fly, unrehersed and many times in unison. I have played with cats that played exactly what I "am" playing in unison, real time and I was making it up as I go. There is no explaining this.

It happens.

Call it magic, snake oil, experience, intuition or what-have-you but it happens nightly and often with musicians unaccustomed to the chart or the other musicians.

FTR, I have played for over 40 years and this I know. I cannot explain it--it just happens and it happens often.

This may have something to do with what audiophiles may be thinking when they think "together" about how something sounds as it is happening. I would not begin to know how to study this.
