I love these videos on the wider landscape of improvisation where you also capture the nuance of choice as well (long--short, arch, etc.) Motif building lends itself to story-telling, and that's important in just about all genres of music. You push beyond the abstraction of story telling in these videos. I'd argue that motif building is just as in important in bebop and avant-garde as it is in blues playing. Part of Charlie Parker's mastery was in how he reused melodic material to shape new improvisations--he wasn't all "lick based." Bebop came from swing--and swing was about the story. Ornette Coleman's solos definitely have an arch as well. "Search for the story and you'll find the nuance to become a better musician" should be our mantra. I'd add to that with listening for the story in the music helps you grow bigger ears. You know what I mean? Keep on keeping on, Adam!

Enjoyed the video. I've been exploring Scott Hamilton solos and he uses the interval idea quite a bit. (Some have claimed a motif is usually an interval and an extra note- ?). If you can envision the interval in the chords, it can work pretty well. Of course, this can be a huge topic...
