In the last chapter, we offered a geometric definition of gesture and hypergesture; this chapter describes a concretely musical application of the conceptual framework opened up by those definitions. Since the question of creativity in free jazz is a crucial and a difficult one, this application matters. It matters above all because we know of those mumbo-jumbo ‘theories’ about inspiration and transpiration and drugs and meditation and other far-out sorcery of self-destruction. We have been in the free jazz “business” for over forty years and have enjoyed a broad spectrum of creative musicians, and, hélas, of tragic musicians.
