Question

In a typical jazz performance, after the head, the form often shifts to improvisation over the established chord changes and structure. 
Option 1: 'The music becomes more syncopated and consonant.' While jazz does feature syncopation, this description is too vague and not specifically tied to what happens after the head; it doesn’t address the defined solo sections or cycle of choruses. 
Option 2: 'Soloists take turns improvising new melodies over the cycle of choruses.' This accurately describes the standard post-head protocol: each soloist improvises over the chord progression for a number of choruses, rotating as needed, before returning to the head. 
Option 3: 'The band plays the verse.' In jazz terminology, the head is the main composed melody; afterward, there isn’t typically a separate ‘verse’ section performed unless the arrangement explicitly includes one, which is not the generic convention after the head. 
Option 4: 'The band plays the bridge.' The bridge (or B section) is part of many tunes’ changes, but the common post-head practice centers on solos over the cycle of choruses rather than abruptly playing a bridge section as a repeat of form. 
Option 5: 'The musicians improvise a new harmonic progression.' In standard jazz practice, soloists improvise melodies over the existing chord changes rather than inventing a new harmonic progression for the performance; a new progression would constitute a different arrangement, not the typical head-solos-head flow. 
Overall, option 2 most directly matches the conventional post-head procedure in jazz performance, where soloists improvise over the established cycle of choruses while the rhythm section comping and supporting. The other options describe possible musical ideas but do not align with the standard sequence following the head.
