Abstract:
 
This article examines interaction processes in free improvisation of the jazz idiom, and their relationships to the musical identity of each participant in the context of jazz education. Along with improvisation, interaction is fundamental to jazz, impacting the development of musical identity, akin to how social interactions shape individual identities. The study utilizes a case study approach with a group of jazz students, employing a multi-layered methodology to meet the research objectives.
