  • Attribution

    Iain Anderson

  • Publication Details

    Book, University of Pennsylvania Press, 2007

  • Links

  • Description

    At various times during the 1950s and 1960s, musicians, critics, fans, politicians, and entrepreneurs claimed jazz as a national art form, an Afrocentric race music, an extension of modernist innovation in other genres, a music of mass consciousness, and the preserve of a cultural elite. By examining the production, presentation, and reception of experimental music by Ornette Coleman, Cecil Taylor, John Coltrane, and others, Iain Anderson traces the strange, unexpected, and at times deeply ironic intersections between free jazz, avant-garde artistic movements, Sixties politics, and patronage networks.

Blowin’ Hot And Cool : Jazz And Its Critics

  • Blowin' Hot And Cool : Jazz And Its Critics

  • Attribution

    John Gennari

  • Publication Details

    Book, University of Chicago Press, 2006

  • Links

  • Description

    In the illustrious and richly documented history of American jazz, no figure has been more controversial than the jazz critic. And while the tradition of jazz has been covered from seemingly every angle, nobody has ever turned the pen back on itself to chronicle the many writers who have helped define how we listen to and how we understand jazz. For Gennari, the jazz tradition is not so much a collection of recordings and performances as it is a rancorous debate?the dissonant noise clamoring in response to the sounds of jazz.
