Case Study: "Freddie Freeloader" was the first tune recorded for the album Kind of Blue, and it is an excellent example of musical improvisation. Musicians improvise when they create ideas spontaneously, without planning what they're going to play ahead of time. This spontaneous, loose feeling is exactly what Miles Davis wanted his band to capture. To do this, Davis famously gave them very little instruction at the recording session, mostly sketches and ideas, just enough so they could know the general shape of the piece. Then Davis trusted their expertise and gave them the freedom to do their own thing, or improvise. In order to improvise effectively in jazz, one of the structural elements musicians need to understand is a riff. A riff, put simply, is a musical idea that repeats. Riffs are usually short. In "Freddie Freeloader," for example, Miles Davis plays a simple two-note riff on the trumpet. This short riff repeats over and over throughout the track. Note that the bass player and the drummer are not improvising, but rather helping to maintain the structure and to keep time for the other musicians.
