About the theme

Jazz Vocabulary runs the musician's terms — bebop, swing, riff, groove, scat, vamp, solo, syncopation, improv, saxophone, quartet, quintet. The long compound names (saxophone, syncopation, turnaround) anchor the bigger grids; the short ones (riff, gig, jam, lick) are the harder hides. A theme that reads like a setlist from a small jazz club.
