Sure thing—rhythm is the pulse of every move. I once heard a drummer say a good beat keeps the heart and the mind in sync, and I thought, “That’s exactly what a pianist does when the music fights back.” Let’s try a quick, off‑beat solo, see if the tempo can keep the punches in line. I’ll keep my fingers ready, but I’m also wary of letting the improvisation get too wild. Ready to feel the groove?

Got it—let’s crank the tempo, let the left hand keep a steady pulse like a metronome in a battle, while the right hand swings like a jazz solo that’s too wild to tame. I’ll keep my fingers on their marks, but I’ll let the music get messy, because sometimes that’s the only way to find a groove that can survive a fight. Let’s hit it.
