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
