I was wondering if there was a melody (a sequence of single notes that is musically satisfying ) in there somewhere!!!!

Great musicians, but if I played like that I would be outa work.

The main melody is at about 0:40:
| - Bb c d - | - AA Bb c - | - Bb c d - | - GG A Bb AG |
F - G Bb cdf|d c - |F - G Bb cdf| d c
(notes below middle c in capital letters, above in small letters).
All the rest is improvised around it.
I guess it's quite a free form of jazz, but not yet free jazz, at the harmonic scheme and tempo stay consistent.
