'Easily Slip into Another World: A Life in Music' is an autobiography co-authored by revered jazz musician Henry Threadgill and Brent Hayes Edwards. The narrative offers an intimate look at Threadgill's prolific life as one of only five Black Pulitzer Prize-winning composers. It journeys from his early days in Chicago, through the vibrant music scene of the '60s, his tour with gospel singers, to his stint in the Vietnam War. It further chronicles his influential career spanning various continents, time spent in the New York City jazz scene, and encounters with famous musicians. The book is also a contemplation on the broader themes of history, race, capitalism, and the essence of art, featuring Threadgill's insights on music education and the evolution of black music in the U.S.
