Literary Nonfiction. Fiction. Poetry. Music. The new project by the Cologne publisher buddy's knife jazzedition is quite sensational: SILENT SOLOS: IMPROVISERS SPEAK presents texts by 50 accomplished and internationally known avant-garde jazz musicians, active primarily on the downtown New York music scene. Within are spiritual expressions, sensuous encounters, homage to and remembrance of past heroes, homespun homilies, and pithy manifestos from several of our most creative artists sharing a common characteristic: dedication to their craft. SILENT SOLOS presents texts by Leena Conquest, Jayne Cortez, Charles Gayle, Gunter Hampel, Oliver Lake, Yusef Lateef, Sabir Mateen, Nicole Mitchell, William Parker, Larry Roland, Matthew Shipp, Warren Smith, Lisa Sokolov, David S. Ware, and many others.
