I love jazz. You may not always love it, but always like it. Why? Because we are spiritual beings. A loving God blessed each human being with the sound of music. Granted there are bumps in the road for some. "But make a joyful noise unto the Lord."

For openers lets define several reference  terms.

ad lib: Spoken or played without preparation.
Coda: a concluding musical section.
Acappella: Without instrumental accompaniment.

Listen to Tony Bennett's "Fly Me to the Moon" check his killer acapella coda. Then, Dizzy in South America:

• What Is This Thing Called Love?
  (Curtis Fuller Ork)
• Groovin' High"
• Coda (Dizzy Gillispie Ork)
• If You Could See Me Now (Tadd Dameron Ork)

Tadd Dameron heard the coda and composed -- "If You Could See Me Now. it."

 
It's the same thing; you can't have one without the other. Whenever composing or improvising aka ad libbing, the jazz musicians alway play what they hear.

And Jazzology is about
feeling and hearing the music or
hearing then feeling; inorder to discern what's happening inside of the music.
