Full Summary:

Last month, an improvisational jazz musician named Shimon hooked up to jam online with some iPhone-wielding Japanese through an application called ZoozBeat. Shimon, by the way, is a robot. He's programmed to improvise in the style of jazz great Thelonious Monk, says creator Gil Weinberg, adjunct associate professor in Interactive Computing. Source: NPR.org
