The essays came from a joint AMS/SEM/SMT panel on improvisation in New Orleans (fall 2012). August Sheehy and Paul Steinbeck contribute from the perspective of music theory, Julie Cumming and Roger Moseley from historical musicology, and Bruno Nettl and
Laudan Nooshin from ethnomusicology. Sheehy and Steinbeck also provide an introduction to the essays, and George Lewis, whose distinguished work crosses many disciplinary boundaries, provides critical responses.
