Jazz/Not Jazz - David Ake

. .

Résumé :
Explores 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. This title seeks out those people and pieces missing from traditional narratives to explore what they can tell us about the way jazz has been defined.
