A drum solo is the exemplification, purely and simply, of the Will, as an expression of metachemical dominance. It exemplifies the Life Force.
Jazz is the most backward kind of modern music – backward in the sense of exemplifying the Will in an alpha-stemming and/or alpha-oriented predilection towards percussion and … brass, that fiery ‘bovaryization’ of wind suited to a fundamentalist if not materialist disposition.
Jazz, fundamentally, is about space and pseudo-time – spatial pitch and sequential rhythm. That is what makes it materialist/fundamentalist and pseudo-idealist/pseudo-transcendentalist, as though a combination, to varying extents, of metachemistry and pseudo-metaphysics, Will and pseudo-Soul, which appertain to the northwest point of the intercardinal axial compass on what would be the ruling positions of the state-hegemonic/church-subordinate axis.
Jazz-rock, or 'fusion', is an accommodation of Jazz to 'the world' of that which, in rock or rock 'n' roll, properly appertains to the southwest point of the intercardinal axial compass on what would be the deferential positions of the church-hegemonic/state-subordinate axis. It is as though cinema were being accommodated, via film, to television.
