Jazz Improvisation Is “musical Conversation” The Jazz of Conversations

When we converse, we are improvising. The exact words we use are not pre-planned; they depend on what our companion says and how we respond to them, and the conversation continues in this back-and-forth manner.

Similarly, jazz musicians improvise with their instruments. Instead of using words to express their thoughts and emotions, they use music to communicate in what could be called “musical conversation.”

I have written more about the comparison between conversation and jazz in my blook.
