jef chippewa is a composer and a specialist in the notation of New Music. Sound objects and funky performance techniques have long played an important role in his creative work, while theatricality and gestural choreography are integral components of his exploration and exploitation of notation. Saxophonist Yves Charuest has been active on the Canadian and international jazz and improvised music scenes since the 1980s. In both collective and solo situations, his approach is characterized by his sense of form and attention to the sonic properties and the formal potentialities of the materials he works with. The Music of the In Between: jef chippewa and Yves Charuest describes work commissioned by Brock University’s Centre for Studies in Arts and Culture (Niagara Region, Canada) and contextualizes their musical and compositional approaches within a broader framework of improvisation.

The Small Walker Press is homed in the Centre for Studies in Arts and Culture at the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts and receives the support of the Walker Cultural Leader series.

It publishes collaborative work that brings together authors and artists from the Niagara Region, as well as the Canadian or international contexts, covering all disciplines and creative practices taught and researched at the MIWSFPA
