Drawing on original interviews with improvising musicians, on
critical pedagogy and cultural studies, and on the authors’
personal histories with improvised music as a form of activism,
community-based pedagogy, Jamming the Classroom examines how the
teaching and learning of improvisational musical practices can be
understood as vital and publicly resonant acts that generate new
forms of knowledge, new understandings of identity and community,
and new imaginative possibilities. The book takes its cue not just
from the learning in conventional classrooms and credentialing
institutions but also from the work that happens in and through
broader communities of practice. Heble and Stewart ask how the
improvisational practices of artists and the internal educational
endeavors within community groups model—and enact—new forms of
community-making and critical thinking, as well as what it means to
theorize the pedagogy of improvised music in relation to public
programs of action, debate, and critical practice and the context
of material practices and struggles for institutional authority.
