Now Jazz Now by Neneh Cherry, Thurston Moore, Joe McPhee, Byron Coley, Mats Gustafsson
100 Essential Free Jazz & Improvisation Recordings 1960–80
A provocative, wide-ranging collection of essays, interviews and firsthand reflections that captures the restless energy of contemporary and experimental jazz, tracing its collisions with punk, free improvisation and global music traditions. Contributors move between intimate performance recollections, critical analysis and playful manifestos to map how improvisation, DIY ethics and cultural politics reshape sound and community. The result is an urgent, impressionistic portrait of a music in flux — committed to risk, hybridity and radical listening.
