Improvisation: Its Nature And Practice In Music

Improvisation: Its Nature And Practice In Music

<div>Derek Bailey's <I>Improvisation</I>, originally published in 1980, and here updated and extended with new interviews and photographs, is the first book to deal with the nature of improvisation in all its forms-Indian music, flamenco, baroque, organ music, rock, jazz, contemporary, and €free€ music. By drawing on conversations with some of today's seminal improvisers-including John Zorn, Jerry Garcia, Steve Howe, Steve Lacy, Lionel Salter, Earle Brown, Paco Pe±a, Max Roach, Evan Parker, and Ronnie Scott-Bailey offers a clear-eyed view of the breathtaking spectrum of possibilities inherent in improvisational practice, while underpinning its importance as the basis for all music-making.</Div></div>
