Derek Bailey was at the top of his profession as a dance band and recordsession guitarist when, in the early 1960s, he began playing an uncompromisingly abstract form of music. Today his anti-idiom of \"Free Improvisation\" has become the lingua franca of the \"avant\" scene, with Pat Metheny, John Zorn, David Sylvian and Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore among his admirers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45413021352087,"sku":"9781781681053","price":3996.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781781681053.webp?v=1767444601","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/derek-bailey-and-the-story-of-free-improvisation-9781781681053","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
