Well, those questions have been circulating in my mind since the Y2K6  
Ninjam. After the festival I listened back to recordings and it  
seemed as every recording sounded uniquely different - and also  
different from what I heard while playing :-))  I don't see this as  
total flaw, because you may stick to a musical style where such  
discrepancy doesn't matter much or even plays a contextual role?

I think we're eventually misunderstanding each other somewhere in  
this discussion? It shouldn't be associated with "doing a lot of  
work" to play musically, listening to each other to stick with the  
same tempo and key etc. Normally that's the most easy task in music  
because that's what sounds best to every one and simply the direction  
any group improvisation naturally gravitates to.
