Baglama(Saz) Definition of Folk Music. The Tradition of Jazz is Non-Traditionalism: Ben Allison in Conversation with Aaron Siegel Part 2. Continuing the conversation between bassist and composer Ben Allison—who makes his Carnegie Hall debut on February 3—and composer, percussionist, and Carnegie Hall staffer, Aaron Siegel, the discussion turns to the role of "covers" in jazz. Aaron Siegel: You have nine or ten records now as a leader, which is a pretty significant catalog. One of the things that was really interesting to me was that up until this point each of the records was mostly your music with one or two covers. Then with your latest record—Action/Refraction—it suddenly goes totally to covers.
I use that term loosely, because I think what you're doing is actually a much more sophisticated and much more inventive response. Ben Allison: Yes, most of my albums to this point have been centered around my original compositions. That’s an important part of how I define myself as a musician. These are composers whose music I really admire, people whose music strikes a chord. Folk Music | St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture.
