charlie parker, one of the most important improvisors in jazz, created melodies which were so strong which influenced so many people that they've become cliches of the language. for example, [plays sample] you would never want to play a whole improvisation with that, with that one idea, and in fact, most improvisations i play don't have that idea in them, but they may make reference in some way to that idea. the language of jazz is not just melodic cliches, it's also the harmonies that we use in jazz and the way the melodies that we use relate to the harmonies. for example, if i kind of outline a certain chord [ascending notes of a chord played individually] that chord wants to go somewhere else. it wants to go here. [descending notes of the same chord] now, if i'm going to improvise over those chords, i'm going to try to create a melody which fits with those harmonies. so you have to have not only a knowledge of the language, a sensitivity to what everyone else is playing, but also a sense of where you are, where you've been, and where you're going. that's tough. it's hard, but it a

from kathleen parker this morning in "the washington post," there's this headline, a misguided witch hunt, demonizing hillary clinton will not do the gop any good to. the caller's point. charlieook, your thoughts? guest: i think each side is greatly exaggerating what the problems are. we've seen in 41 years in politics, 30 years doing the newsletter, 29.5. very, very few clear cut cases of election fraud, voter fraud in any races whatsoever. but at the same time, i think sort of on the democratic side when they complained about voter intimidation, i think those charges are exaggerated too. the fact is we have a lot of voters in this country who believes that either their side wins or the election -- it's not a matter of my side lost, it's we won or it's stolen. that's -- those are the only two options. and i see that on the left with -- on the left, particularly during the bush 2000 i've seen it on the left and on the right. >> let's take a look at the big picture in 2014. these are some of the races that charlie cook is toss up. let's look at the big picture. 218 needed for a majority of the control of the house to determine whether it's speaker boehner or speaker pelosi. ri
