John Cage: Making Music Out of Everything. The Juilliard Journal, December 2011
My deep thanks to the following for their invaluable comments and help with this article: Brian Brandt, Randy Gibson, Mark Gustafson, Ara Guzelimian, Susan Jackson, Joan La Barbara, David Lang, James Pritchett, Foster Reed, Ira Rosenblum and Lance Wakeling.
Thank you, Bruce, for this introduction to John Cage’s work and the recordings that effectively represent his music. I was moved by Joan La Barbara’s introduction and performance, and by Ara Guzelimian’s response, at the MATA Festival gala.

My pleasure, Jeff! I only wish I could have commented on even more recordings, since there are so many diverse examples of Cage's talents.
