This text reveals how musicians, both individually and
collectively, learn to improvise. It aims to illuminate the
distinctive creative processes that comprise improvisation.
Chronicling leading musicians from their first encounters with jazz
to the development of a unique improvisatory voice, Paul Berliner
demonstrates that a lifetime of preparation lies behind the skilled
improviser's every note. Berliner's integration of data concerning
musical development, the rigorous practice and thought artists
devote to jazz outside performance, and the complexities of
composing in the moment leads to a new understanding of jazz
improvisation as a language, an aesthetic and a tradition. The
product of more than 15 years of immersion in the jazz world,
"Thinking in Jazz" combines participant observation with detailed
musicological analysis, the author's own experience as a jazz
trumpeter, interpretations of published material by scholars and
performers, and, above all, original data from interviews with more
than 50 professional musicians. Together, the interviews provide
insight into the production of jazz by great artists like Betty
Carter, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Coleman Hawkins and Charlie
Parker. "Thinking in Jazz" features musical examples from the 1920s
to the present, including transcriptions (keyed to commercial
recordings) of collective improvisations by Miles Davis's and John
Coltrane's groups.
