"A sterling collection of writings... There are no misfires. This collection will be useful for decades to come... Highly recommended." -- G. A. Akkerman, University of South Carolina Upstate Choice
What is jazz? What is gained - and what is lost - when various communities close ranks around a particular definition of this quintessentially American music? "Jazz/Not Jazz" explores some of the musicians, concepts, places, and practices which, while deeply connected to established jazz institutions and aesthetics, have rarely appeared in traditional histories of the form. David Ake, Charles Hiroshi Garrett, and Daniel Goldmark have assembled a stellar group of writers to look beyond the canon of acknowledged jazz greats and address some of the big questions facing jazz today. More than just a history of jazz and its performers, this collections seeks out those people and pieces missing from the established narratives to explore what they can tell us about the way jazz has been defined and its history has been told.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What is jazz As jazz continues its uneasy move from a popular to a more high-brow cultural category, scholars have begun to look beyond the canon of acknowledged jazz greats to try to get a wider angle on the history of the music . The three editors of this volume are among the most well-known of the so-called New Jazz Studies scholars, and they have collected a stellar group of like-minded writers to address some of the big questions that confront the field right now. The table of contents is book-ended by two essays that address very large-scale historiographic questions about jazz. It begins with Eric Porter, who asks why the jazz canon developed in the way it did, and ends with Sherrie Tuckers thoughtful essay on the idea of identity in jazz history and why identity has become such a touchstone. Between these two are excellent pieces on topics such as how jazz history is shaped by the little-examined tropes of music education, why the concept of Latin jazz has such a troubled history, what role humor plays in jazz (and why no one want to discuss it), why relations between jazz and avant-garde music have been uneasy, why it is important to acknowledge that Louis Armstrong (in the canon) loved Guy Lombardo (not in the canon), and much more.
