What does raw chicken have to do with Jazz composition? In this talk Etienne Charles turns a raw piece of meat into a beautiful jazz demonstration. In this elegant demonstration, Etienne and his band provide the viewer with rare insight into the magic of Jazz and improvisation.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
