In this course we will explore the works of jazz musicians such as Ornette Coleman, Sun Ra, Cecil Taylor, Miles Davis, James Baldwin, Langston Hughes, Bill Evans, Robert Creely, Amiri Baraka, Frank O'Hara, Ahmad Jamal, Herbie Hancock, etcetera. Emphasis will be placed on the overlap that allows improvisational music and the writing that shares an impulse for what is current and temporal or rising, to foster and embolden one another. We will also examine literary acts that show up in music and musical acts that show up in literature.
