The long awaited re-release of ÒSolo GigÓ (2011) by unconventional guitarist Davey Williams is a personal treatise on music and free improvisation. His highly original viewpoint on the subject of music is alternatively theoretical, humorous, and obsessively surreal. From a discussion of developing personal skills and experience to harvesting a language from intuitive and subconscious forces, his broader philosophical postulations are rare insights into the idea of the transformation of musical language, self-generating phenomena, and survival skills on the gig! WilliamsÕ unique perspective is explained through anecdotes, surrealist metaphor, and observations revealing obvious and oblique vulnerabilities in musical paradigms. Humorously exaggerated stories woven with absurdist illustrations on the essence of musical phenomena create an opening for the reader to examine the peculiarities of the most primordial form of music.
