Notions of subjectivity and individuality pervade the discourse around jazz and non-idiomatic improvisation. While subjectivity plays an important role musical improvisation, the tendency to focus on the subjectivity of the player(s) – analysing their particular improvisatory approach(es) – has muddied the broader structure at issue: where the musical event goes beyond the players and leads them to unforeseen musical outcomes. In this paper I reassess the role of subjectivity in improvised music by interpreting it through a hermeneutic lens. I connect musical improvisation with three ideas characteristic of hermeneutics: prejudice/fore-understanding, conversation, and in-between. In each case I will describe how these topics describe improvisation and suggest means of arriving at a more nuanced understanding of the role of subjectivity in improvised musical performance.

William Allaudin Mathieu (born in 1937) is a consummate musician, a pianist, composer, author, and teacher — and, in my view, one of the most influential musicians of his generation. In his early twenties he composed music for the Kenton and Ellington Big Bands, was the founding musical director of the famed Second City of Chicago (Improv Theater) and was a pioneer in the 1960s of the application of theater improvisation games into the musical sphere. He is the author of four influential books, including the best selling "The Listening Book" (1991). In a teaching career spanning more than fifty years, Mathieu has been an important influence and guide to many musicians worldwide. As I demonstrate throughout this essay, W.A. Mathieu reminds us that in highlighting the world of improvisation we must be careful not to romanticize spontaneity, for doing so might well involve our falling into the trap of dualistic thinking that separates if not excludes such activity from composition. Overall, Mathieu implores us to reflect deeply about false dichotomies as improvisation/composition, and by extension think more broadly about the perils of dualistic thinking in general. In exploring themes in discussion of improvisation, I highlight some of the ways in which we can begin to draw connections between Mathieu’s ideas and the usefulness of improvisation to pedagogy in music education and beyond.

This article explores the practice of intergenerational listening and its implications for re-imagining social connection in the COVID-19 crisis. Using an approached based in conversation and exchange facilitated through video-conferencing platforms, the authors critically reflect on the possibilities for developing a new sense of social connection by listening to the everyday sounds (Tuuri and Peltola 2019) of particular spaces. More specifically, the principal aim is to investigate the impact of re-imagining the daily sounds of spaces under locked-down as sources of intimacy, accompaniment, and creativity. These sounds include the ‘buzz’ of a cherished clock, the creak of a screened in porch, or records regularly listened to in a family living room. Supported by literature on ‘listening at a distance’ (Finer 2018) and the ‘sonic imagination’ (Street 2019), we ask: how can intergenerational, socially-distanced listeners engage with sound and space to improvise new forms of social connectivity? Asking these questions, we argue, can inform research and action into the roles that intergenerational listening and improvisation can play in the representation and the valuing an ageing population (Lanphier 2019) in an emerging post-pandemic musical landscape.
