The "Riffing"Element

The "Riffing" Element.

Do you still remember how you started to find written information about Jazz? I did, and I wrote about it in my blog titled The "Riffing' Element

When I was a teenager I found a book that wrote about jazz styles ( in four languages !!) and gave some elements about certain jazz styles like: More modern, than folkloristic, restless, virtuosity. Any idea what jazz style has this elements? And what about Imitative, tendencies, controlled, forced gaiety ? And the next description puzzled me for years, as I wondered what the words The "Riffing" elements meant. The style was desscribed as Supple, light-footed, the "Riffing" element. After 40 years, I guess to know what the author meant with The "Riffing" Element, but I lost a lot of sleep about it !!
