I admire the improvisation of jazz, including when there is a supposed lack of structure. I do feel, however, that there needs to be a point where the musicians all "come back together" so to say. My head just gets really tired after listening to nothing but soloists doing their thing because my ears instinctively and consistently search for a pattern or something to hold on to in the music. It's not that free form is bad or anything, it just goes against the natural way humans listen to music.
