Three of the chapters are dedicated to detailed analyses of three of the more than fifty releases by the Art Ensemble: A Jackson in Your House (BYG Actuel, 1969), Live at Mandell Hall (Delmark Records, 1972) and Live from the Jazz Showcase (a concert video recorded in 1981, released on VHS by Rhapsody Films in 1990).

As the art of improvisation is central to the study of jazz, Dr. Gunther is interested in developing the pedagogy of improvisation through a deeper understanding of the creative process and expanding that study to other styles of music and disciplines beyond music. Additionally, his research explores the integration of technology and multi-media with live performance allowing for collaboration between a wide array of disciplines.
