Selected IMPROVISATIONS streams highlight riffs from Vernon Frazer’s master work, IMPROVISATIONS, an experimental writing project that synthesizes the post-World War II revolutions in American improvisational music and literature: from the bebop of Charlie Parker to the harmolodics of Ornette Coleman and from Charles Olson’s 'Projective Verse' to Jack Kerouac’s Spontaneous Bop Prosody and pushes them to the breaking point - an ecstatic interruption of the Western mode of conceptualization. Frazer expresses creative freedom with eloquence and enormous energy. IMPROVISATIIONS is important for its deep understanding of the creative impulses and utterly unique modes of poetic presence - intellectual, musical, complex, intuitive, joyous, frenetic and intensely awake. Frazer has accomplished something the literary establishment long ago abandoned - a truly original work of art.

    Edward V Bonner
