The interesting thing about improvisation is you're making something up in front of the audience. Now music helps you out a little bit because you have an instrument that'll separate you from the audience.

Improvisation is not a presentational form, except in small doses, or as a game. It's a tool.

The thing about improvisation is that it's not about what you say. It's listening to what other people say. It's about what you hear.

I always had a knack for improvisation. I can write down the notes I play, but never really had a proper academic musical background. I suppose I'm blessed and cursed by the fact I have that freedom.

People's association with improvisation means one person playing an endless stream of notes over something, and it doesn't have to be.

There's always some room for improvisation.

The world is a slightly better place for having improvisation in it than it was before. There's something about it that says something positive about the human spirit, that a bunch of people can get together and by following a few simple traffic rules can create art and can entertain an audience and can thrill and exalt each other.

I've always been into improvisation.

Improvisation is a compositional method.

When improvisation is properly applied, it is compositional thinking, sped way up.
