This fresh look at the neglected rhythm section in jazz ensembles
shows that the improvisational interplay among drums, bass, and
piano is just as innovative, complex, and spontaneous as the solo.
Ingrid Monson juxtaposes musicians' talk and musical examples to
ask how musicians go about "saying something" through music in a
way that articulates identity, politics, and culture. Through
interviews with Jaki Byard, Richard Davis, Sir Roland Hanna, Billy
Higgins, Cecil McBee, and others, she develops a perspective on
jazz improvisation that has "interactiveness" at its core: in the
creation of music through improvisational interaction, in the
shaping of social communities and networks through music, and in
the development of cultural meanings and ideologies that inform the
interpretation of jazz in twentieth-century African-American and
American cultural life. Replete with original musical
transcriptions, this broad view of jazz improvisation and its
emotional and cultural power will have a wide audience among jazz
fans, ethnomusicologists, and anthropologists.
