Sure, jazz can be a cryptic puzzle in its own right. Listen for a recurring motif—musical fingerprints that repeat. Note each interval, transcribe the notes, and see if the sequence matches any familiar pattern or code. If you share the riff, I can see whether it hides a simple substitution or a more elaborate cipher.

I’m afraid a real riff can’t travel over text, but I can tell you to tap the melody out loud, jot down each note, then look for a repeating sequence. That pattern is usually the key to the hidden message. Give it a try, and let me know what you find.
