ABSTRACT
Jazz improvisation represents a pinnacle of spontaneous musical creativity, requiring real-time decision-making within dynamic ensemble settings. This study investigates the cognitive and musical strategies employed by Pat Martino during improvisation in his recording of the tune Four On Six, focusing on the interaction between individual expression and improvisation methods. The research uncovers the key factors influencing harmonic, melodic, and rhythmic choices by analysing audio recordings, transcriptions, and literature reflections. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the mental frameworks behind improvisation and offer insights for jazz educators and performers looking to enhance improvisational skills.
