A Listener's Guide to Free Improvisation by John Corbett
5.0
Small book, short chapters, very insightful. From my point of view, a perfect primer on the topic.
Improvised music is challenging to most humans, and Corbett guides the reader thoughtfully through the process of understanding, bit by bit, the appeal of free improvisation. He's very non-didactic, and he uses humor here and there to get his ideas across. He also includes several lists of recommendations.
If you're at all curious about free improvisation and don't know where to start, start here.
