David,
Just listened to your fascinating discussion on repetition and improvisation. All my life I assumed I disliked avant-garde jazz because it lacked melody. I now realize that what it often lacked was repetition and when i couldn't find anything identifiable, I simply lost interest. Thank you for this insight.

You got it! The cool thing as that there is repetition in some of that type of jazz, it's just buried WAY deep in variation... you'll find Improvising Study 11 fascinating once you get to it.
