Improvisatory music and the expression of alienation
 

Prevost 57: "The creative question [is] what kind of a world do we want the music to address? What kind of world would be sympathetic to the music we feel must be made? The strength of this line is that it is a conscious expression of alienation, capable of developing an alternative strategy to meet human need as and when the divisive drive of market relations becomes intolerable."
