My research seeks to explore the relationship between verbal text and improvised music, focusing particularly on jazz and jazz-influenced music since the 1960s. My approach draws upon history, philosophy, and art to investigate specific and timely intra-actions between improvised music and text, and challenge dominant notions of music and text that have tended to pre-figure our understanding of these relationships. In doing so I hope to make available new insights and approaches for contemporary artists and scholars working with text and improvised music.
