"Another device commonly used by jazz musicians is the quote, which is a phrase borrowed from another composition or well-known recorded solo. This is also known as interpolation."
I recently discovered that I can interpolate "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" into the first eight bars of "Blue Bossa."
I like to show newbie pickers how you can do octaves of "Eleanor Rigby" in almost any minor key tune.
And many years ago I heard Joe Morello play "Jingle Bells" on the tom during a extended drum solo!
