Richard Reason (b. 1948*) — composer and pianist, student of Cornelius Cardew, together with Christopher Hobbs, Hugh Shrapnel, and others.

Jeffrey Agrell (b. February 25, 1948) is the author of a big book: Improvisation Games for Classical Musicians, which stemmed from his experience as an educator (professional bio at the University of Iowa), a jazz guitarist, and a classical hornist (improvising e.g. with Evan Mazunik). ➡️
Stefan Szczelkun (b. 1948) is a member of Scratch Orchestra, runs an interesting blog and wrote books including one that is reviewed here: Improvisation Rites: from John Cage's Song Books to The Scratch Orchestra's Nature Study Notes ➡️
