Re: This is your brain on jazz -- MRI studies of improvisation

["todd reynolds" <toddreyn@gmail.com>]

I'd love to read George's piece, Krispen...  do send me a pdf if the offer still stands.. please.

I echo the Bailey book, and the Arcana series by John Zorn. 

Just wish they'd make John sit down in front of a microphone and read the whole thing himself for Audible.  THAT would be fun.  

or even the chapter authors, lol

All best, 

Todd

 Anyone read the George Lewis' "Improvised Music after 1950"?  Unbelievably earth-shaking, pivotal, and paradigm shifting work in light of the history of improvisation....recommended reading to me by Jeff Kaiser. I have a PDF copy for anyone interested.

...but it's pretty damn cool that science is starting to show that us improvisers having something unique going on in our brains when we play.
