Book Synopsis
The first-ever overview on the multimedia art of free-jazz pioneer and creative polymath Milford Graves
Milford Graves (born 1941) has been a revelatory force in music since the mid-1960s, liberating the drummer from the role of "timekeeper" to instrumental improviser and giving rise to the free-jazz movement, with groundbreaking performances alongside Lou Reed, Min Tanaka and John Zorn.
But music cannot contain the energies of his creativity and intellect. Graves' kaleidoscopic genius led him to develop an unprecedented body of interests--from medicine to botany, stem-cell regeneration to martial arts. A Mind-Body Deal gathers the multifaceted work of Milford Graves, exploring the practices and predilections of this extraordinary mind. Fully illustrated, this catalog includes documentation from the eponymous show at ICA Philadelphia, exhibiting a collection of Graves' hand-painted album covers and posters, idiosyncratic drum sets, recording ephemera, multimedia sculptures, photographs and costumes, with elements from his scientific studies.Review Quotes
A strikingly beautiful experience of the life, mind, and work of one of the foremost creatives of our time.--Aakash Mittal "BOMB"
A Mind-Body Deal spans six decades and comprises more than 40 artworks, artifacts from the drummer's home, scientific studies, recording ephemera, and archival recordings...--Ken Micallef "Jazz Times"
Aiming to connect these diverse yet interrelated strands, A Mind-Body Deal...is an attempt to open the doors of his habitat to the spark of curiosity in our own minds, so we too may learn to weave our mind-bodies with the rhythms of the world around us.--Lazlo Rugoff "Vinyl Factory"
Milford Graves devoted himself to studying the rhythms of the heart. It turns out he was creating a technique to treat himself.--Corey Kilgannon "New York Times"
