Chapter Five: Wu Man

Previously on Wu Man...
 

Interview (2007)
Conference Presentation (2009)
This is one of five chapters here that has been condensed and joined with the others in a chapter for a two-volume reader on improvisation in various cultural contexts in press at Duke University Press, for editors Daniel Fischlin and Eric Porter.

Most famous? Improvisationally interesting (albeit more removed from edgiest music/scene than Min & others) for her new-music and Chinese-ethnic-minority interests (like Mei); also for other eclectic collaborations (Wu Man & Friends, Kronos, Tatsu, Yo-Yo, Fred, Henry T, Distance)...do her right, even though she’s doing just fine on her own. Bring out aspects of her work of most interest to me, not so much covered. Carnegie Hall festival, meeting at Reed, interview. Be thorough.

When I get this & all the other artists' blog pages to the point Sainkho's is at, I will be close to writing them all up into final drafts.

Comments are open and welcome. Keep in mind that my more completed chapter drafts are referring to other chapters not yet written as though they are. I've gotten the book mostly researched and written up in my head, so I make those references to cue me to put them in my future write-ups
