Jazz musicians Myra Melford, Angela Wellman, Darren Johnston, and Karl Evangelista, and Satoko Fujii describe the impact that studying musical improvisation had on their creative growth.

This year’s New Frequencies Fest devotes its entire program to jazz in the present tense while also paying tribute to the innovations of the 1960s and that decade’s impact on contemporary jazz and improvisational music.
