Experimentation in Improvised Jazz: Chasing Ideas

By Robert Burke and Andrys Onsman

Book Overview

Experimentation in Improvised Jazz: Chasing Ideas challenges the notion that in the 21st century, jazz can be restrained by a singular, static definition. The worldwide trend for jazz to be marginalized by the mainstream music industry,　as well as conservatoriums and schools of music, runs the risk of stifling the innovative and challenging aspects of its creativity. The authors argue that to remain relevant, jazz needs to be dynamic, proactively experimental, and consciously facilitate new ideas to be made accessible to an audience broader than the innovators themselves.　Experimentation in Improvised Jazz explores key elements of experimental jazz music in order to discern ways in which the genre is developing.
