On The Edge: Improvisation in Music

No Idea presents our first Spanish language translation/subtitling project On The Edge: Improvisation in Music. Written and narrated by British guitarist Derek Bailey in collaboration with producer/director Jeremy Marre, the 4-part series documents the ways in which improvisation serves as the driving force in the development and continued importance of musics around the world.
