In this clip, Arlington Jones sets the tone on piano, and Quamon Fowler fires right back on sax, each phrase sparking the next in a dynamic, back-and-forth groove that feels electric and in the moment.

What is call and response?
Call and response is when one musical phrase is answered by another, like a conversation. It can happen between singers, instruments, the audience, or in jazz “trading fours,” where musicians take turns responding to each other.
