Reliance on retrospective sense making

“The improviser may be unable to look ahead at what he is going to play, but he can look behind at what he has just played; thus each new musical phrase can be shaped with relation to what has gone before. He creates his form retrospectively. “

Ted Gioia

Embracing errors in an aesthetic of imperfection

“Fear no mistakes, there are none. “Miles Davis

Page 26: Jazzinbusiness @ Henley

Provocative competence

"The music is struggle. And what most leaders are the victim of is the freedom not to struggle. And then that's the end of it. Forget it!“

Keith Jarrett

Key findings of cognitive science

The mind is inherently embodied

Thought is mostly unconscious

Abstract concepts are largely metaphorical

Automatic selection of relevance

Page 37: Jazzinbusiness @ Henley
Page 38: Jazzinbusiness @ Henley

Continuous negotiation and dialogue towards dynamic synchronization

“With Miles, it would get to the point where we followed the music rather than the music following us. We just followed the music wherever it wanted to go. We would start with a tune, but the way we played it, the music just naturally evolved.“

Buster Williams

Page 39: Jazzinbusiness @ Henley

Shared orientation towards minimal structures that enable maximum flexibility

“By making do with minimal commonalities and elaborating simple structures in complex ways, players balance autonomy and interdependence. “

Eisenberg

Page 40: Jazzinbusiness @ Henley

Taking turns, soloing and supporting

“Usually we think a great performances create attentive listeners. The notion of taking turns suggests a reversal: attentive listening enables exceptional performance.”

Paul  Berliner
