Written & narrated by Derek Bailey. Produced & directed by Jeremy Marre.
“Passing it on” presents myriad approaches, working methods, and viewpoints towards improvisation—all in service of the continuation of a music deeply held by each artist.
"Indian music has continued in unbroken evolution for 30 centuries or more. Not preserved in the cultural bunkers of academy and museum, but in the hands of improvising performers."
— Derek Bailey
Featuring: Douglas R. Ewart, Robert Levin, John Zorn, Naji Hakim, Gaelic psalm singing in the Isles of Harris and Lewis in the Scottish Hebrides, Mrs. Chrissy Smith, Rajan and Sajan Misra
