IN once sense it is true...KC does keep evolving-if you look at the line up
changes and the way the music shifts in that shuffling of players yet
remaining around a central musical direction.

Its all improv and good improv at that.
I think the closest recorded instances  BOC gets to improv are the solo
sections in 7SDb  on OYFoOYK and the 5 man guitar jams Ive heard (ME 262,
MaseratiGT ,
live 76) .
That raises a good question if you think about it...the improvisability of BOC..
