In terms of improvisational music, lack of conventional tonality is not the goal, it's expression through terms of release and release is sometimes lugubrious. Are you honestly suggesting that there are only a few who use innovation yet incorporate it into conventional techniques?

It's our system of tonality that has been going through the most significant changes, it was one of the main focus points of modernism in music I'm not sure where improvisational music comes into it.
