Here are some examples of people improvising and jamming, including full performances of the shorter excerpts you heard in the last XP:
Think About
- How do people jam?
- How do musicians have musical conversations when they are jamming?
Get Started
- Watch the full performance of at least one of the musicians who were sampled in the video you just watched:
- Identify rhythms, melodies, or sound effects that are repeated.
- Does anything in the performance surprise you, or seem especially creative?
Avishai Cohen (trumpet), Jason Lindner (keys), Justin Tyson (drums):
Bonus: Find another version of Well You Needn’t. Compare the Avishai Cohen version with the other version you watched.
Tash Sultana:
Bobby McFerrin:
There are no sharing what you learned requirements for this XP.
