Derek Bailey (January 29, 1930 – December 25, 2005) was a free improvising avant-garde guitarist. The most noticeable feature of his style is what appears to be its extreme discontinuity, often from note to note: there may be enormous intervals between consecutive notes, and rather than aspiring to the consistency of timbre typical of most guitar-playing, Bailey interrupts it as much as possible: four consecutive notes, for instance, may be played on an open string <a href="https://www.last.fm/m

Derek Bailey, né le 29 janvier 1930 à Sheffield et mort le 25 décembre 2005 à Londres, est un guitariste, improvisateur, compositeur et théoricien britannique.

Il est l'auteur d'une monographie sur l'improvisation en musique. Collaborations majeures : Steve Lacy, Evan Parker, Cyro Baptista, Anthony Braxton, John Zorn, Tony Oxley, Thurston Moore…
