Reflection on Action and Reflection in Action
When good jazz musicians improvise together, they similarly display reflection-in-action smoothly integrated into ongoing performance. Listening to one another and listening to themselves, they “feel” where the music is going and adjust their playing accordingly. A figure announced by one performer will be taken up by another, elaborated, and turned into a new melody. Each player makes on-line inventions, and responds to surprises triggered by the inventions of the other players.
Schon, 1987
