Experimentalism Otherwise : The New York Avant-Garde and Its Limits.

The author explores what it means to be experimental in music by looking at five different events which took place in New York City in 1964. The events include the New York Philharmonic's performance of John Cage's Atlas Eclipticalis; Henry Flynt's demonstrations against the downtown avant-garde; Charlotte Moorman's Avant Garde Festival; the founding of the Jazz Composer's Guild; and the emergence of Iggy Pop. With an introduction, notes, list of works cited, and index. Black & white photos.
