Jazz on the Line: Improvisation in Practice presents an
ethnographic reflection on improvisation as performance, examining
how musicians think and act when negotiating improvisational
frameworks. This multidisciplinary discussion-guided by a focus on
recordings, composition, authenticity, and venues-explores the
musical choices made by performers, emphasizing how these choices
can be logically understood within the context of controlled,
musical outputs. Throughout the text, the author engages directly
with musicians and their varied practices-from canonized dogmas to
innovative experimentalism-offering interviews both planned and
spontaneous. Musical agency is posited as a tightrope balancing
act, signifying the skill and excitement of improvisational
performativity and exemplifying the life of a jazzaerialist. With a
travel journal approach as a backdrop, Jazz on the Line provides
concepts and theories that demystify the creative processes of
improvisation.
