The contributors to Playing for Keeps examine the ways in which
musical improvisation can serve as a method for negotiating
violence, trauma, systemic inequality, and the aftermaths of war
and colonialism. Outlining the relation of improvisatory practices
to local and global power structures, they show how in sites as
varied as South Africa, Canada, Egypt, the United States, and the
Canary Islands, improvisation provides the means for its
participants to address the past and imagine the future. In
addition to essays, the volume features a poem by saxophonist
Matana Roberts, an interview with pianist Vijay Iyer about his work
with U.S. veterans of color, and drawings by artist Randy DuBurke
that chart Nina Simone's politicization. Throughout, the
contributors illustrate how improvisation functions as a model for
political, cultural, and ethical dialogue and action that can
foster the creation of alternate modes of being and knowing in the
world. Contributors. Randy DuBurke, Rana El Kadi, Kevin Fellezs,
Daniel Fischlin, Kate Galloway, Reem Abdul Hadi, Vijay Iyer, Mark
Lomanno, Moshe Morad, Eric Porter, Sara Ramshaw, Matana Roberts,
Darci Sprengel, Paul Stapleton, Odeh Turjman, Stephanie Vos
