Stewart Lee has of course spoken extensively about the difficulties of jazz-folk sex.
Jazz sex is a wildly improvisatory procedure, that returns to its original theme only after every possible variation has been exhausted.
Folk sex is a far more traditional approach, obsessed with historical accuracy, often continued way past the point at which it ceases to be entertaining, until one or both of the main protagonists is dead.
Jazz-folk sex is an attempt to meld the best of both traditions. It's highly improvisatory, obsessed with historical accuracy, but enlivened at unexpected moments by the sudden introduction of a clarinet.
Whether this brave attempt to combine what may be fundamentally incompatible approaches will ultimately solve all the problems of humankind remains a moot point.
Did Lee advise where the Clarinet was introduced during Jazz Folk sex & at what point?
I wondered if it was similar to Heavy Rock sex where a 4’ Gong was bought into play at a crescendo moment; or is that Prog Rock sex where you both wear Wizard hats?
