Is improvisational jazz to impressionism art as smooth jazz is to realism art?

@stuartk 
I have been largely misunderstood. I totally get that impro / spontaneity in creating something is pure art. I never said and never imagined it to be below classical or anything else. I am not castigating anything at all. I just don't like it. Can I ? I tried and found out it's not my thing.

@marlkings:

OK-- sorry for misunderstanding you. 

When you said you 1) didn't like improv and 2) that you "like order and structure and purpose and overall sense of a composition", I thought you were saying that you don't enjoy improv BECAUSE IT LACKS "order and structure and purpose and overall sense of a composition", but apparently you meant something else. 

My mistake, then,

NO

"A man's got to know his limits." 

I do not equate visual art and music.
I am far from an art expert. I either like it or I do not and I have never paid enough attention to it to make sense out of it. 

I make furniture. Humans use furniture for specific purposes. In order to be useful furniture has to accommodate human dimensions. A chair seat has to have a certain height. Same for tables. Furniture has to be made within a set of rules which is what makes it challenging. You want to be original but you have to do it within rules. What good is a nice looking chair you can't sit in? Music is exactly the same or you are playing tennis without a net. I enjoy challenging music like Henry Threadgill's To Much Sugar For a Dime or Eric Dolphy's Out to Lunch. But, there is a limit to western ears. The late John Coltrane work like Ascension leave me cold. There is nothing I can hum or tap my foot to, just a succession of dissonant notes and pace-less rhythms. 

If you want to see/hear a mind that produced both visual art and Music
google Don Van Vliet. 

A person has only two things - a soul and a body - everything that happens around has an impact on both.

Look at all this as FOOD! ... everything in this world is cognized by comparison! for example, two people - one eats right (clean water, vegetables and fruits without chemistry, regime, correct diet, fresh air, sun, gymnastics, good sleep, peaceful surroundings, no drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, swearing, does not cheat on his wife, is passionate about his business .. .)

the second person - drinks water from a muddy puddle in an industrial area, buys vegetables and fruits in the supermarket (they were watered with chemistry when they grew up, then they are impregnated with chemistry so that they would lie in the store for a long time), does not observe the regime at all, eats fast food, breathes from the exhaust pipe of a car, does not happen in the sun (for example, a miner), moves little, almost does not sleep, around angry aggressive people, drinks, smokes, takes drugs, sleeps with prostitutes, a loafer ...

As a result, one is cheerful, happy, slender, does not get sick, lives for a long time, has achieved a lot in life. The second - his short life is torment, he has chronic diseases, obesity, he is weak, women do not like him, and so on ...

We figured out the body - no one can argue.
SOUL is such an organ! , it's matter! (has the nature of a field).

the laws of the nourishment of the soul - have the same (or similar) principles as the body.
You will either become happy, or you will follow the road leading to moral deformity (illness of the soul) ...

Music is food! ... and your destiny!

Music hierarchy (descending order of importance):

1. Sacred music (in the west it is not enough, in America it is not at all)

2. Folk music - in it all the pain, wisdom and experience of older generations

3. Classical symphonic music (even farmers turn it on to cows and milk yields increase ... animals gain weight faster ... if you turn on jazz, cows will want a cigar for whiskey and refuse to press milk))) ...)

Then there are other types of music, but at the end of the list (the most destructive effect not only on the soul, but objectively on the human body) heavy metal, punk, rave, songs containing abuse, too loud and harsh ...

Do you feel bad? Listen to these angels.
