Music Farther Outside
Rowman & Littlefield (Verlag)
978-1-5381-7877-5 (ISBN)
Each of the artists whose lives and work are discussed in the book are, to use Duke Ellington’s phrase, “beyond category.” Some are located on the fringes of jazz and contemporary classical music, while others create improvised music: music created spontaneously without template. In addition to the diversity of music they produce, the subjects represent diversity in terms of gender, race, orientation, and geographic location. Bill Shoemaker discusses the work of the London Improvisers Orchestra, Philip Thomas, Pat Thomas, Richard Barrett, Elaine Mitchener, Rachel Musson, Corey Mwamba, Charlotte Keeffe, and the Glasgow Improvisors Orchestra.
The book will enhance the reader’s understanding of radical music and its role in the evolving multiculturalism.
Bill Shoemaker has written about jazz and other forms of experimental music since 1978. His articles and reviews have appeared in jazz and music magazines in North America and Europe. He has also written booklet notes for over fifty recordings issued on CD by artists including Anthony Braxton, Steve Lacy, and Cecil Taylor. He has contributed articles to The Washington Post and The American Prospect, as well as concert program notes for The Library of Congress. Shoemaker is the author of Jazz in the 1970s: Diverging Streams and founded the online quarterly Point of Departure.
