 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
