Abstract: "New horizons at Jazz em Agosto Festival, Lisbon. Arrivals/Departures - New Horizons in Jazz examines the music's creative ferment, celebrating the arrival of fresh new voices and departures from staid conventions. Commissioned by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation as part of the 30th edition of Lisbon's Jazz em Agosto, the book profiles 50 musicians and ensembles that have appeared at the festival, including lists of their most significant recordings. It's an index to much of what's most vital in jazz today, surveying long-standing innovators as well as recent arrivals, artists at the vibrating edge of current music."--
