This is why I loathe much "improv", especially of the narrow-minded "oh no, they listen to rock and dance!" variety. Merely doing something doesn't make it valid - there has to be some guts and soul in there too. This is why Chris Corsano (for example) is ace, whereas noodling of the Gary Smith variety is not.
Macca was involved in the A.G., as Sir Demonrail rightly points out. If he'd actually released an album of said stuff (either then or now), I would listen to it out of curiosity, if nothing else. I can't help but think though that Sir Thumbsaloft is playing the "experimental" card now though for rather peculiar reasons, and those off-handed digs at Lennon, J are a tad....predictable?
