Derek Baileys "Improvisation" är den första boken i sitt slag där den musikaliska improvisationens egenart inom de flesta genrer behandlas: indisk musik, flamenco, barockmusik, orgelmusik, rock, jazz, samtida konstmusik och fri improvisation. Den är en klassiker inom sitt område, ursprungligen publicerad 1980. Tolv år senare kom den i en utvidgad och bearbetad version, som här föreligger i svensk språkdräkt. Bailey samtalar med några av vår tids inflytelserika improvisatörer: Viram Jasani, Paco Peña, Lionel Salter, Jean Langlais, Jerry Garcia, Steve Howe, Ronnie Scott, Max Roach, Steve Lacy, Evan Parker, Han Bennink, John Zorn, Gavin Bryars och Earle Brown. På så sätt får vi en klarsynt överblick av det hisnande spektrum av möjligheter som kännetecknar improvisation som klingande verklighet. Samtidigt understryker Bailey också dess vikt som grund för alla former av musicerande. Gitarristen Derek Bailey (19302005) har gett solokonserter över hela världen, spelat med de flesta av de musiker som associeras med fri improvisation och har drivit ett eget skivbolag, Incus Records. Det här är den viktigaste bok om improvisation som du kan tänkas stöta på. Wire Baileys bok behandlar insiktsfullt sammanhang inom olika traditioner av improvisation. New Grove Dictionary of Jazz

Borrowing from mythologies from around the world, Digitarum spins a wild tale of creation and destruction, life and death, and good and evil. Five gods are born into a world of absolute nothingness and are tasked with building a world. Each of them have their own special powers and talents which they lend toward this effort, but before long, darkness takes root within the world that they construct. The gods struggle against their enemy throughout the ages and despite all of their power, they find that evil is a cunning opponent which comes in many forms. They care for the world as it grows to new heights and serve as champions for the people that live within it. This sprawling tale spans from the birth of a world until the end of its days and takes readers on a journey that freshly combines familiar narrative ideas.

Derek Bailey's Improvisation , originally published in 1980, and here updated and extended with new interviews and photographs, is the first book to deal with the nature of improvisation in all its forms,Indian music, flamenco, baroque, organ music, rock, jazz, contemporary, and "free" music. By drawing on conversations with some of today's seminal improvisers,including John Zorn, Jerry Garcia, Steve Howe, Steve Lacy, Lionel Salter, Earle Brown, Paco Peña, Max Roach, Evan Parker, and Ronnie Scott,Bailey offers a clear-eyed view of the breathtaking spectrum of possibilities inherent in improvisational practice, while underpinning its importance as the basis for all music-making.
