Microgroove continues John Corbett's exploration of diverse musics,
with essays, interviews, and musician profiles that focus on jazz,
improvised music, contemporary classical, rock, folk, blues,
post-punk, and cartoon music. Corbett's approach to writing is as
polymorphous as the music, ranging from oral history and
journalistic portraiture to deeply engaged cultural critique.
Corbett advocates for the relevance of "little" music, which
despite its smaller audience is of enormous cultural significance.
He writes on musicians as varied as Sun Ra, PJ Harvey, Koko Taylor,
Steve Lacy, and Helmut Lachenmann. Among other topics, he discusses
recording formats; the relationship between music and visual art,
dance, and poetry; and, with Terri Kapsalis, the role of female
orgasm sounds in contemporary popular music. Above all, Corbett
privileges the importance of improvisation; he insists on the need
to pay close attention to "other" music and celebrates its ability
to open up pathways to new ideas, fresh modes of expression, and
unforeseen ways of knowing.
