A New York Times Notable Book of the Year, Easily Slip into Another World is an autobiography that explores the life and career of renowned jazz musician Henry Threadgill. Born in Chicago, Threadgill recounts his childhood, family life, education, and rise to fame as a saxophonist, flautist, and composer.
