Like most ground-breaking art forms, contemporary creative music is
rarely understood or accepted in its own time, and for those
reasons, can largely go unheard. Music and the Creative Spirit:
Innovators in Jazz, Improvisation, and the Avant Garde aims to give
today's brightest music innovators due recognition and respect,
celebrating their work and creativity. Through personal interviews,
artists such as Pat Metheny, Regina Carter, Joshua Redman, Fred
Anderson, Dave Holland, Bill Frisell, David Murray, and John Zorn
to name just a few offer clear, frank discussions about music,
creativity, work, society, culture, current events, and more.
Author Lloyd Peterson has hand picked these artists specifically
for their ability to express themselves through their own creative
voices and transcend their art form through the strength of their
own ingenious spirit. Their music eschews categorization, genre, or
style, and the book necessarily takes a broader view of jazz,
tapping into the inventive aspect that is difficult to describe or
teach, and is rarely discussed. By allowing the innovators an
opportunity to speak for themselves, readers are afforded a clearer
sense of their attitudes and approaches, their ways of working, and
their views of contemporary music and society.
