extempore

extempore publishes writing inspired by jazz and improvised music.

This most spontaneous and vital of music genres-demanding creativity in-the-moment from its musicians-also feeds the creativity of others – the writers, painters and poets who sit in the audience.

Five glorious issues of the journal, and now we’re publishing books. Celebrating creativity.
