Reliance on retrospective sense making
“The improviser may be unable to look ahead at what he is going to play, but he can look behind at what he has just played; thus each new musical phrase can be shaped with relation to what has gone before. He creates his form retrospectively. “
Ted Gioia
Embracing errors in an aesthetic of imperfection
“Fear no mistakes, there are none. “Miles Davis
Provocative competence
"The music is struggle. And what most leaders are the victim of is the freedom not to struggle. And then that's the end of it. Forget it!“
Keith Jarrett

Key findings of cognitive science
The mind is inherently embodied
Thought is mostly unconscious
Abstract concepts are largely metaphorical
A warm smile
Lakoff, G., & Johnson, M. (1999). Philosophy in the flesh : the embodied mind and its challenge to Western thought. New York: Basic Books.
Abstract reasoning relies on physical experience
The man is a lion
Andriessen, D. (2006). On the metaphorical nature of intellectual capital: a textual analysis. Journal of Intellectual Capital, 7(1), 93-110.
Automatic selection of relevance
Continuous negotiation and dialogue towards dynamic synchronization
“With Miles, it would get to the point where we followed the music rather than the music following us. We just followed the music wherever it wanted to go. We would start with a tune, but the way we played it, the music just naturally evolved.“
Buster Williams
Shared orientation towards minimal structures that enable maximum flexibility
“By making do with minimal commonalities and elaborating simple structures in complex ways, players balance autonomy and interdependence. “
Eisenberg
Taking turns, soloing and supporting
“Usually we think a great performances create attentive listeners. The notion of taking turns suggests a reversal: attentive listening enables exceptional performance.”
Paul Berliner
