Nenes' Koza Dabasa
Henry Johnson, University of Otago, New
Zealand
This book explores Okinawa's island culture and
its ghosts of war through the lens of Nenes, a four-
woman pop group that draws on the distinctiveness
and exoticism of Okinawan musical tradition. Both a
tropical island paradise and the site of some of the
bloodiest battles of World War II, Okinawa has a unique culture and a
contentious history. Its musical traditions are distinct from other parts
of Japan, varying in instrumentation, poetic forms, and musical scales.
Nenes marks its cultural difference as Okinawan by emphasizing its
own exoticism, expressed through its music, fashion, imagery, and
performance style.

The Practice of Musical
Improvisation
Dialogues with Contemporary Musical
Improvisers
Edited by Bertrand Denzler & Jean-Luc Guionnet
Over several years, Bertrand Denzler and
Jean-Luc Guionnet have interviewed a variety
of approximately 50 musicians about their practice of musical
improvisation. All interviews were recorded, transcribed and carefully
edited. Musicians include both the very experienced such as Phil
Durrant, Rhodri Davies, Eddie Prévost, John Butcher, Evan Parker,
Axel Dörner, Phil Minton, Radu Malfatti, Otomo Yoshihide, Bill
Dixon and Annette Krebs, as well as those newer to the field. Asked
questions on topics such as the thought process behind a collective
improvisation, the importance of the human factor in improvisation,
and the technical strategies used, the interviewees highlight the
habits and customs of a practice, as experienced by those who invent
it on a daily basis.
