Horn players love when pianists FEED them ideas rather than always just following them. Comping at its best is more than just "accompanying” a soloist, but rather an interplay and exchange of ideas.
That's the difference between "playing with" and "playing behind" someone. But this requires a high level of musicianship like MASTER Altin possesses in order to listen, react and give yourself in to the music. See how Altin Sencalar (trombone) & Bijan Taghavi (piano) interplay over "Body and Soul" as they exchange melodic & rhythmic ideas to create a singular musical voice.
