Ian is dedicated to the promotion of jazz and all creative music all over the world, and to catching just a little piece of it for himself.An epilogue details the experimentalism of Iggy Pop and the Stooges, partly inspired by Cage and Moorman. For Piekut, the fact that Iggy and the Stooges are generally excluded from literary discourse on experimentalism raises the question of its definition. The Stooges, like the experimentalists in whose wake they followed, challenged people's limits of acceptance and reduced the gap between art and life. The failures of New York experimentalism in 1964 as described in Piekut's four fascinating accounts, however, indicated the area that lay beyond the New York avant-garde, revealing the possibilities of an experimentalism otherwise.
