A pproach to improvisation through its rhythmic vision. "When we talk about jazz and improvisation, we often think of phrases, notes and me lody. Gypsy jazz often does not escape this narrow vision of improvisa tion. And yet, improvising is the beginning of music, it's music i n its entirety. Improvisation is therefore made up of melodies, phrase s, etc. but also of rhythm, space, silences, etc. The inner pulse, the awareness of space, and how to play with it, how all this acts on the body, the mind of the improviser, these are some of the questions I w ill answer during this workshop.
