Your point about concerts reminds me of when I saw Jandek. The crowd was made up of sad looking middle aged men and hipsters, pretty much what I expected.

A friend I might consider my closest, with whom I sometimes play, does generally "get" free improvisation, but whenever we improvise it tends to become soloing over a groove at some point. It's still fun, but...
Would love if there were more of us and we could start some kind of band.
Are there lots of such concerts in your vicinity?
I shouldn't complain, lots of musicians I like came to my town or somewehere near, but those concerts do seem to get rarer and rarer.
And there aren't even hipsters at ours. Most of the people seem to be free jazz fans from way back.
I wonder if the demographics are different in other countries or in bigger and more "cultural" cities.
