After years of trying, I was finally able to do a proper Bossa Nova. 3/2 Clave over a Samba pattern. For whatever reason, I had some mental block that wouldn't let me do it. I think it was too many years of playing Bauhaus' Bela Lugosi's Dead, which has a 3/2 clave over a steady 4 on the floor.
So anyway, it just fell together and now it feels natural.
This happens a lot. You stop thinking and start playing.
So what is this called? I know that what is occuring is called "independance." But what is that transition between struggle and effortlessness called?
