Book Review: not for the faint hearted
Summary: 4 Stars
WEll well well----I bought this book on the advice from my little brother........he just left to play with jim black in brooklyn...nuff said......The first chapter on organ improv wouldn't end....i read it anyways-----do people improvise in white churches anymore in america anyways----a 25 minute sonata---where i live they would say "no ne here does drufs , so play amazing grace" been there-----
steve howe -- why?? did yes jam? i guess phish does too right??? this is why i bought the book----tired of listening to people praise hippie bands {although the jerry garcia interview in the book may have been the "deepest" as far as answering derek's questions was concerned.........he talks about "training " your audience-----
thankfully gavin byars talks about his approach, which led to giving up improvising {after seeing a bass player "jam" in england somewhere and receive praise........derek goes into solo improv and language-----re read i did----over and over--------this book is for people who want to explore themselves as players and learn about the great improvisers---------louis armstrong to derek bailey to tim berne {who was NOT mentioned} to coltrane to cage-----you name--they are discussed-----
buy this and give it time to sink in thank you for LISTENING
