On The Edge: Improvisation in Music

Episode #3 "A Liberating Thing"

Written & narrated by Derek Bailey. Produced & directed by Jeremy Marre.

“A Liberating Thing” examines the role of improvisation as a creative tool for the working musician—be it through the development of personal or collective systems of music making, a combination of experience and invention within a form, or the abandonment or antagonism of known forms in search of a liberating porosity.

"When you look at, from Louis Armstrong to Charlie Parker up to the young rappers of today, it has to do with the socio­political and economic system setup in the United States of America where the education system did not accommodate their desires to become involved in music or any other arts... So they came up with different ways of dealing with the world of sound… and that is the contribution that still stands." — Max Roach

Featuring: Max Roach, Butch Morris, Sang-Won Park, Max Eastley, Derek Bailey, Steve Noble, Alex Ward, Buddy Emmons, Sam Bush, Mark O’Connor, Jerry Douglas, Edgar Myer, Eugene Chadbourne

Al Borde: Improvisación en la música

Capítulo #3 "Algo liberador"

Escrito y narrado por Derek Bailey. Producido y dirigido por Jeremy Marre.

“Algo liberador” examina el papel que ha desempeñado la improvisación como una herramienta creativa para los músicos —tanto personal como colectivamente—, ya sea como la combinación de experiencia e invención dentro de una forma dada o el abandono de formas ya conocidas.

“Todo tiene que ver con la configuración socio­política y económica de los Estados Unidos de América: Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker, incluso los raperos jóvenes de la actualidad, inventaron maneras diferentes de tratar con el mundo del sonido porque el sistema educativo no encajaba con sus deseos de ser músicos o artistas... Tuvimos que inventarnos algo y ésa es la aportación que sigue vigente.”

— Max Roach
