If that were a demonstration of free will, they would be able to play that piece the exact same way each time. I don't think that is how improvisation works.

Again, GEMA denies me my exercise of free will.

No, quite the opposite. The free will keeps them from duplicating the tune. Not much rehearsal for this evening of music at the Half-Note. That is indeed how improvisation works, when done well.

If so, funny. If not, please enlighten. Thank you.
