Quick Burst

I just had a revelation! The style of music that a musician plays reflects their personality and general attitude towards life. The style of that genre that they play reflects how they are feeling in that moment. Like angry blues when one is angry. Or smooth jazz if you are relaxed.

Here is a great example of this, Two recordings from John Coltrane. One of which is a song called countdown which was recorded after a feud between Miles and JC. The other is a song called Namia which was recorded by Coltrane in a very relaxed state (unfortunately induced by the use of Heroin)

Countdown - ANGRY JC

Naima - CHILL JC
