In episode #34, James and Jeff jump into a discussion on the topic of "Motivic Playing." We all know that we should tell a story when we are improvising jazz. But here's the thing . . . is that actually true? Did Charlie Parker do that, really? Let's talk about this idea, see if it holds water, and determine what we should do about it.
