In a world where seemingly every sound has been created and is all but at the tips of your fingers, musicians need a way to reach inward to feel that their creations are informed by their unique experience and vantage point, in order to avoid the feeling that their creations are derivative at their core. Improvised is a book, designed for jazz musicians, that is intended to act as a guided meditation that takes a look at the teachings of jazz giants, views their ponderings on the music they were a part of through an introspective lens, and uses this inspiration as the fuel for creativity. Inspiration that can be sparked from the simplest of questions, and grow into something profound and personal.
