Your Max Roach example shows how humans produce "alive" (by YOUR standards)
music.  They fail to show WHY drum machines ipso facto produce "dead music".
Your standards of "aliveness" seem based on notions of jazz improvisation
being the prime factor in "aliveness" of music.  Does this mean that
classical (sic) music, with all its notes written out in advance, is
necessarily dead?
