Discusses approaches to
improvisation in many kinds of music (inidan, f;amenco, barouque, rock,
jazz, free). Includes exerpts from interviews with
musicians. It really revs up in the second half when Mr Bailey
talks about his work and the work of his associates. Highly
recommended

Advice
For Improvisers |
This
one is very hard to find and this rarity along with Mr. Tchicai's
abilities increased its value for me. It is quite light however,
consisting of a short essay followed by some written out exercises.
