Rip, the movie talks pretty candidly about the Lowell/Billy rift and how Lowell would walk off during Bill's solos. I really enjoyed his explorations, a chance to catch my breath! And I like jazz improvisation very much.
As you may know, and will see in the movie Bill was heavily influenced by Joe Z. and the rest of Weather Report at that time. Lowell tended to compose his solos rather than improvise them, so he was coming from a different place.
