What happens when you give four creative minds the same musical prompt and let them create, live on camera? From the concrete to the abstract, we take a look at the creative process with a group of composer/improvisers and pull the curtain back on what can, at first glance, seem like a magical ability reserved for the chosen few. Featuring Peter Niedmann, John Tafone, Michael Chicoria, and Michael Genese!
