Yes, no one has said John Cage was an improviser! The article this
thread discussed also points that out. The similarity I mentioned is
the practicing of strategies for reaching into that realm of chance
and unforseeability. Unfortunately the link to the source article is
now lost from the thread's quote area but you should be able to find
it in the archives.
