R.K.,
I must disagree with your statement that jazz is "derived from quick improvisation for a couple of extra dollars one could achieve at night without having to prepare."
In every way jazz and improvisational music in general require MORE preparation than the equivalent non-improvised music simply because in order to compose that fast one has to become incredibly fluent in all aspects of whatever style your going to engage.
(Composition) = (Very Slow Improvisation)
(Improvisation) = (Very Fast Composition)
Likewise, one could be a Noble Savage composer, so to speak, but it is likely that it would take that person an outrageous amount of time to compose something on the same level compared to someone with knowledge and skill...
Perhaps THAT is what you mean by prepare: Wallowing in relative ignorance while trying to express oneself.
