*IMPROVISATION is a relative term,
i.e.,
the vernacular for "improvising"
in bebop, North and/or South Indian music, rock,
classical, jazz fusion, and/or indigenous drumming
of Mexico is always related to the vernacular of each
instrument and its traditions.
Sometimes these are arranged around worldwide tours
and/or when I am back in the USA not on tour
if you have any questions about the possibilities
please contact me
