Trading Eights - Hancock/Brecker/Scofield/Holland/DeJohnette

 


From Bret "Jazz Video Guy" Primack.

Soloists taking turns at improvising, playing for eight (or four, etc.) measures or bars at a time. Two or more musicians take turns playing eight bar licks or solos. This can encourage creative interaction between musicians. This means having an eight-bar solo by one musician followed by eight bars by another. Example: The New Standards Band - Herbie Hancock, John Scofield, Michael Brecker, Dave Holland, Don Alias, Jack DeJohnette.
