Some time ago, the great tenor saxophonist Frank Foster was playing a street

concert from the Jazzmobile in Harlem. He called for a blues in B-flat.

A young tenor player began to play "out" from the first chorus, playing

sounds that had no relationship to the harmonic progression or rhythmic

setting. Foster stopped him. "What are you doing?"

"Just playing what I feel."

"Well, feel something in B-flat, mother{censored}er."
