ruben,
Yes! "...listen to their playing partners..."

Thanks for mentioning this!

In early jazz, we call this, "Having a conversation." One person offers a musical idea, and the other person responds. Much like verbal conversation. Also much like verbal conversation, there's a reason or thread behind it - even if the ending topic is different than the beginning topic. A person must listen to what the other is saying in order to have a meaningful conversation.

Of course, the same is true in solo breaks where folks trade 8s, 4s, 2s, etc.

Here's a great snippet of Chloe Feoranzo and James Evans. I know folks generally are reluctant to follow links out to YouTube, but this one is queued to the beginning of their conversation and so wonderfully demonstrates the idea of musical conversation in call and response: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTFXYDyBRr4&t=176s - music which would never otherwise be realized on the printed page.

[Edit: changed "said" to "saying" - also would like to add that the same is true when harmonizing with someone else - the musician must listen in order to support what is being said instead of trampling all over the main speaker.
