Jazz and Blues music are known for improvisation but the practice goes back further than that. Bach, Mozart, Clara Schumann and Chopin all improvised as part of their performances. Today, classical musicians rarely improvise. So what changed?

Nahre Sol and LA Buckner improvise together while talking about the reasons why classical musicians no longer improvise. It’s one big jam, that ends with tips on how to improvise better in your own playing.
