Definition of a musical conversation:  A technique in which musicians consistently alternate brief solos of pre-set length (for trading fours, four bars; musicians may also trade twos, eights, and so forth).  Trading fours usually occurs after each musician has had a chance to play a solo, and often involves alternating four-bar segments with the drummer.
