Gunther Schuller said he has always had a passion for music. When as a small boy he was photographed playing a conductor, a position he would later hold for many symphonies around the world. However, his passion for music was not limited to the classics but also with jazz. So, when he combined the two types of music together for what he called The Third Stream, his followers were not at all surprised. In addition to his composing, Gunther has written several books that have not only documented his theories but of those of jazz and classical pioneers.
