Improvisation and the spirit of creative music is the challenging topic that Garrison Fewell has explored in this important new book. As a musician, composer, educator, performer and writer, Fewell is uniquely qualified to engage in serious dialogues on this subject, and has done so with 25 of the most significant contemporary improvisers in jazz. These interviews have resulted in thoughtful, sensitive, enlightening and passionate revelations. Among those interviewed are John Tchicai, Han Bennink, Dave Burrell, Matthew Shipp, Milford Graves, William Parker, and Henry Threadgill.
