Jazz Planet by E. Taylor Atkins
Requirements: .PDF reader, 14.8 MB
Overview: Music history — Jazz Jazz is typically characterized as a uniquely American form of artistic expression, and narratives of its history are almost always set within the United States.
Yet, from its inception, this art form exploded beyond national borders, becoming one of the first modern examples of a global music sensation. Jazz Planet collects essays that concentrate for the first time on jazz created outside the United States.
What happened when this phenomenon met with indigenous musical practices? What debates on cultural integrity did this “American” styling provoke in far-flung places? Did jazz’s insistence on individual innovation and its posture as a music of the disadvantaged generate shakeups in national identity, aesthetic values, and public morality? Through new and previously published essays, Jazz Planet recounts the music’s fascinating journeys to Asia, Europe, Africa, and Latin America.
What emerges is a concept of jazz as a harbinger of current globalization, a process that has engendered both hope for a more enlightened and tranquil future and resistance to the anticipated loss of national identity and sovereignty.
