patterns based on 8th notes, so the numbering ranges from 1 to 8.

A ll is primarily an improvisation, usually about one or two bars in length, performed

at transitions within a tune outside the repetition of the primarily defined rhythm

pattern. It essentially relies upon the musical sense of the performer. In Japan it is

also referred to as “okazu” (side dish) because it adds a spicy avor to the tune.

The ll’s main role is to raise the energy level by accenting the accompaniment and

is often used to transition to the next part of the tune.
