About the book:
For almost three decades Fire Music, the author’s acclaimed 1991 bibliography, has been the standard reference work on the jazz avant-garde. Now, at long last, we have its companion. Comprised of entirely new material, Creative Improvised Music offers users a comprehensive guide to the voluminous literature which has emerged on the American free jazz and European free improvisation movements since the 1990s.
This new edition is organized into three easy to navigate sections—General Works, Regional Studies, and Biographical and Critical Studies—allowing users to quickly access the information they need. It also includes a detailed subject index providing a key to all of the book’s sections and another way to pinpoint citations by topic, geographical location, personal name, and instrument.
Major highlights include:
-
Comprehensiveness. Offers more than 5500 annotated entries on print, digital and archival materials published between 1991 and 2018 as well as a wealth of older material and audio-visual works not found in Fire Music
-
Linguistic diversity. Provides in-depth coverage of the literature in English, French, German, Dutch, Spanish and Italian
-
Enhanced coverage of European sources, many not indexed anywhere else
-
Indexes key experimental music and jazz periodicals, both print and digital
-
Broader examination of topics such as gender and race, politics and religion/ spirituality and their impact on jazz since 1960
-
Detailed examination of local and regional scenes, both in the U.S. and Canada and in European hubs such as the UK, France, Germany and the Netherlands
-
Exhaustive bio-critical section documenting the work of nearly 1000 improviser-composers, ensembles, and collectives along with a select number of record producers, jazz poets, and others. These range from icons such as Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane and Sun Ra to recent voices such as Mary Halvorson, Tyshawn Sorey and Taylor Ho Bynum.
