    Abstract:
    This chapter proposes an application of topic theory to jazz improvisation. It introduces the concept of a "groove topic" and defines the expressive correlations of a variety of common jazz grooves. The chapter then traces the unfolding groove topics in Miles Davis's celebrated 1964 solo on "My Funny Valentine."
