Episode 4: Live Coding & Jazz
The code for this episode is available here.
I had a different idea for the fourth episode, but then I saw John McLaughlin’s tweet about International Jazz day, and decided to do something for that instead.
Obviously I’d talk about Jazz in the musical section, but it wasn’t clear yet what part of Jazz I’d talk about. I spoke to a few people and it seemed like a good idea would be to talk about improvisation, and how jazz musicians do it; in particular, I’m hoping this helps people who don’t “get” jazz to understand what we’re doing when we play it, and that we’re not just playing random notes!
