A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR • An autobiography of one of the towering figures of contemporary American music and a powerful meditation on history, race, capitalism, and art.

A Best Book of the Year: The New York Times, NPR, The New Yorker


Henry Threadgill has had a singular life in music. At 79, the saxophonist, flautist, and celebrated composer is one of three jazz artists (along with Ornette Coleman and Wynton Marsalis) to have won a Pulitzer Prize. In Easily Slip into Another World, Threadgill recalls his childhood and upbringing in Chicago, his family life and education, and his brilliant career in music.

Here are riveting recollections of the music scene in Chicago in the early 1960s, when Threadgill developed his craft among friends and schoolmates who would go on to form the core of the highly influential Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM); the year and a half he spent touring with an evangelical preacher in the mid-1960s; his military service in Vietnam—a riveting tale in itself, but also representative of an under-recognized aspect of jazz history, given the number of musicians in Threadgill’s generation who served in the armed forces.

We appreciate his genius as he travels to the Netherlands, Venezuela, Trinidad, Sicily, and Goa enriching his art; immerses himself in the volatile downtown scene in New York City in the 1970s and 1980s; collaborates with choreographers, writers, and theater directors as well as an astonishing range of musicians, from AACM stalwarts (Muhal Richard Abrams, Roscoe Mitchell, Wadada Leo Smith, and Leroy Jenkins), to Chicago bluesmen, downtown luminaries, and world music innovators; shares his impressions of the recording industry his perspectives on music education and the history of Black music in the United States; and, of course, accounts for his work with the various ensembles he has directed over the past five decades.

No boards come with it.
Size: 42'' x 28'', Size: 42'' x 28''
It was simple to put together, though it did not come with instructions. I had to use pictures of the product as a reference when putting it together. Parts were oily, so you must use gloves or wipe them down. I bought the boards from Lowes, size for the boards were 28" x 40" and 9" x 40", and 3/4" thick. I had to buy 5/8" screws to screw the boards down. Overall, once it was all put together, the desk is very sturdy, simple and gave me options how to set up my computers.

1" fittings and decent quality
Size: 16'' x 7.87''
Difficult to tell from any description but these are 1" pipes and fittings. You can find this out if you look at product pictures and can see the 1 printed on a fitting or two that is it. I was trying to match existing pipes that were 3/4 inch so disappointed when they arrived. these are decorative as well. Not the same quality as actual black iron pipe you get at any home improvement store. Good enough for shelving and legs on furniture but I definitely would not stand on these or make a chair or stool that is meant to hold someone's weight. Fit and finish about what you would expect cheap and the flanges are threaded crooked like others have stated. Also when they state the sizes and lengths they do not take into account the fittings so everything will be longer slightly.

Good price for what I needed
Size: 16'' x 43''
Perfect for the coffee table I was working on, adjust to the size I needed as I only used 2 middle pipes for a 36” table top. Good durable pipes. The down come slightly scratched up as they weren’t packaged in anything protective so I ended up spraying them with a matte black.
