Great clip with Elvin and Richard Davis. Frank Foster on tenor; great player who for years shared tenor duties in the Basie big band with Frank Wess.
Of course, can’t talk about music without time factoring in.
****Time is the interval between two events.****
In music those events are the pulses or beats and the interval is the length of time between them. Of course, how the player arrives at each of those events (beats), how the player "finesses" that arrival (length of time), is what gives the playing its feeling. This is why musicians seldom say "player x has good rhythm"; instead, "player x has good time".
