Gives a peek into how jazz musicians put together performances and how their methods have differed from style to style.  Can be used to introduce basic technical concepts at the beginning of the course before selected jazz styles are discussed.  Can be used as reinforcement of classroom lecture/demonstrations because they provide a handy source of review materials.
