What a fabulous set of tools to make the clarinet speak. I could listen to these guys all night.

Eli that was nice how you broke the motif changes down step by step in each stage in the improvisation.

[@JSDJerry]

I learned more about how to play and use motifs from this short video Than any other video I watched.

Jazz at Lincoln Center's JAZZ ACADEMY This is the best channel to learn jazz from New Orleans, I'm from Brazil and I'm learning to listen to the musicians.

I love this😂 it's also kinda funny how it's scripted like this

Oh yeah! If we consider a motive as a musical word, then it is natural to combine spoken language with performed musical language; how it comes together in playing the talking drum djembe.
