Dear Marek,
Assuming your word "malody"* (sic) was a typo, I think you've just coined a
new word to describe a badly constructed attempt at playing an improvised
melodic line. I think it could be just the word to describe a jarring
improvisation that a) doesn't follow the chord sequence, or b) loses the
logical sequence in the melodic improvisation, or c) has a few unintentional
squeaks or muffed notes.
*akin to "malodorous".
Kind Regards
Bob Smith
