Retracing the life of Paul Bley--one of the most complex and mysterious personalities in the history of jazz--this fascinating biography positions him in the pantheon of great jazz musicians from the last 50 years. A proponent of free jazz and improvisation, his techniques, aesthetic values, and individual style are examined in the context of his contributions to modern jazz. The story of his musical career is also discussed alongside many of the great bands and jazz icons that he performed with, including Charlie Parker, Charles Mingus, Lester Young, Sonny Rollins, Don Cherry, and Keith Jarrett.
