To speak the language of music interestingly, beautifully and individually, you need natural data and possession of certain sciences, technologies and techniques. Recent research. An overview of key concepts of technology and tools, as well as data analysis of human nature's abilities which helps to master jazz improvisation. The purpose of the article is to analyze musical improvisation as a universal language, its components, principles and methods on which it is based, the disclosure of separate ideas of construction and concepts of solo.Improvisation is the right to choose, and the choice is always wide, which depends on taste, mood and feelings. The result must be impressive with its beauty, originality and individuality. Improvisation in all ages was and is the highest degree of freedom, the highest degree of posses-sion of any craft, the last step in various cultures. The art of improvising is relevant in military affairs, in cooking, in carpentry, and of course in all kinds of art (literature, theater, cinema, pain-ting, photography). In general, improvisation is the driving force of progress, the development of anything. If folk musicians were not improvised, ethnic music would not have been so rich if Mozart and Bach were not given this art - classical music would not become so versatile. Thanks to improvisation, a music called jazz appeared. It is in jazz that improvisation has its greatest incarnation and essence, because it is the basic principle of this music. Apparently, being one of the youngest genres of music, in 70-80 years, jazz itself has undergone most of its development, diversity, and prosperity; has absorbed folk, classical and contemporary music. The ability to improvise, the level, quality, and the idea of improvisation are determined pri-marily by natural abilities and, of course, by the possession of means that make it skillful. Natural abilities can be attributed to us from the birth of imagination, fantasy, sensitivity, intelligence. The reproduction of the best human abilities in music allows such means as: the science of harmony, melody, rhythm, chords, phrasing, pauses, modes, possession of the technique of playing musical instruments. Music is a language, only international, and improvisation - the ability to talk interestingly, beautifully, on different topics. Musical sentences are thoughts, phrases, words, notes, letters. The child speaks first letters, then words, phrases, sentences ... and so learns to speak. The same process takes place in music: notes, phrases, musical sentences, periods, works. You can further explore chords, tunes, rhythm, musical form ... But it is not possible to learn to truly improvise, if nature does not have the imagination, sensitivity, ability to imagine, feel in music color, form, mood. And it's still hard to tell interestingly, without having your own experiences, mistakes, victories, life experiences. Only the person who possesses all this spectrum of qualities can create deep and convincing music, which makes us better. Instruments of improvisation can be both sophisticated technique of playing on instruments, and long notes and pauses. The latter have an extraordinary magic power. The whole essence of improvisation is that depending on mood, feeling, fullness, the physical condition of the performer, improvisation can be different at any one time. And this process is endless. Nothing is in place. Musical improvisation reflects the constant movement, emotions, changes ... and this is life, development, evolution. Improvisation is a higher, advanced way of thinking, freedom. A musician who is able to improvise always has a chance for individuality, can say more, is more interesting in the language of music, feels life deeper and more fully.
