Extemporization, the ability to explore a given motif, and push it to its limits, lies at the core of jazz and I remember well one of my musical mentors, Healey Willan, telling me we should all be grateful to jazz for keeping the art of extemporization alive. The title of this novel reminds us that we are listening to different voices, similar to the Heptameron or The Canterbury Tales, juxtaposing love and conflagration in virtuoso extemporizations on a theme. Architecturally gutsy, defined by a clearly articulated structure, the big pavilion feels like a delicate extemporization on the familiar, tugging at half digested images of the past, part industrial, part colonial ease. |
