Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. An exuberant, generous collection touching on creativity and fatherhood, racism and workplace politics, A.B. Spellman's poems address the most important personal and public events of the last seventy years--of how it felt to grow up Black in a segregated America, of the transformational experience of hearing live jazz, of the give-and-take of a long marriage, and of the importance and inspiration of good friends.…

Hardback. Zustand: Like New. Classic and new work by poet and jazz writer A. B. Spellman /> />A. B. Spellman is an acclaimed American poet, music critic, and arts administrator. He is widely recognized as a leading figure in the Black Arts Movement of the 1960s and 1970s, a cultural and literary movement that emphasized Black identity, pride, and artistic expression. Between the Night and Its Music brings together A. B. Spellman's early work with a collection of powerful new poems. Spellman's literary career took flight in 1965 with his debut poetry collection, The Beautiful Days, which introduced his distinctive voice blending elements of jazz, blues, and African oral traditions. In 1966, Four Lives in the Bebop Business established Spellman as a respected music critic and scholar. It was a groundbreaking work that chronicled the lives and struggles of four influential jazz musicians. Spellman held senior positions at the National Endowment for the Arts for thirty years with lasting impact on arts funding for inner cities and rural and tribal communities. In addition to poems from The Beautiful Days (1965) and Things I Must Have Known (2008), this book contains a trove of new and uncollected poems, confirming Spellman's continued centrality to contemporary American literature. This is an essential volume for readers already familiar with Spellman, and an excellent introduction for new readers. Lauri Scheyer's introduction situates Spellman's work within jazz writing, Black Arts, and American poetry broadly. /> />[sample text] /> />THE TWIST /> />a dancer's world />is walls, movement />confined: music /> />god's last breath. />rhythm: the last beating />of his heart. a dancer /> />follows that sound, blind />to its source, toward walls />with others. she cannot dance alone /> />she thinks of thought />as windows, as ice around the dance />can you break it? move.…

Soft cover. Zustand: As New. 1st Edition. University of Michigan Press edition 2004, 1st printing. With a new introduction by the author. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "This new and retitled edition of A.B. Spellman's long-out-of-print FOUR LIVES IN THE BEBOP BUSINESS brings a classic work on jazz back to life, and shines a light on four musicians who've finally gotten their due. In 1966, at the height of the avant-garde and the year of the first edition, the subjects of Spellman's interviews for the book---Cecil Taylor, Ornette Coleman, Herbie Nichols, and Jackie McLean---were considered too subtle, complex, or difficult, certainly far from the comfortable melodies of more mainstream artists. Nearly forty years later, in the new edition, Spellman notes the capriciousness of the jazz industry and writes of darker cultural currents, 'the most sinister of which is the gross indifference with which America receives those aspects of Afro-American culture that are not 'entertaining.'"[]"An essential book in the jazz canon. [] Four black jazzmen speak at considerable length for themselves, with connective passages supplied with persistent relevancy by a poet, historian and critic."---Nat Hentoff. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine & bright, clean pages.…
