Watching jazz artists improvise is like watching a nature documentary: They use unspoken communication techniques and musical cues to tell each other what they’re doing, changing their rhythm on-the-go, without missing a beat. In this episode we hear from three award-winning Canadian jazz artists — drummer Larnell Lewis, pianist Jeremy Ledbetter, and bassist Mike Downes — about the secret language of improvisation and how the sounds we hear with each performance come to be.
