Reviews

Jeff Schwartz, Los Angeles-based, all-genres skilled bassist and respectable musicologist, presents here an epic achievement and a huge delight: the entire history of free jazz over the past sixty years refracted through the great performers and creators that have defined and dominated it. This is a book about a less-known music everyone should discover, and about the decades-long argument over its origins and development. Jeff Schwartz's incisive and enthusiastic look at this musical art form, from its very inceptions to the influences that shape it, deserves everybody's recognition. Schwartz's magnum opus uncovers ever-new and thrilling realizations about the redemptive liberation that free music brings us all. - Andrea Centazzo, composer, percussionist, musicologist
