    On the eve of World War II, mixed-race marriage was illegal in most states, politicians argued for segregated facilities in order to prevent race mixing, and interracial couples risked public hostility, legal action, even violence.

This Is Our Music : Free Jazz, The Sixties, And American Culture

  • This Is Our Music : Free Jazz, The Sixties, And American Culture

  • 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.
