Intransigent play: exploring Derek Bailey's practice through his practise

Wednesday 15 May 2019

In this seminar I will explore some aspects of the work of improvising guitarist Derek Bailey (1930-2005), drawing on his recorded output and his published writings as well as on unpublished manuscripts from his archive.
