For almost half a century, Amiri Baraka has ranked among the most important commentators on African American music and culture. In this brilliant assemblage of his writings on music, the first such collection in nearly twenty years, Baraka blends autobiography, history, musical analysis, and political commentary to recall the sounds, people, times, and places he's encountered. As in his earlier classics, Blues People and Black Music, Baraka offers essays on the famous—Max Roach, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, John Coltrane—and on those whose names are known mainly by jazz aficionados—Alan Shorter, Jon Jang, and Malachi Thompson. Baraka's literary style, with its deep roots in poetry, makes palpable his love and respect for his jazz musician friends. His energy and enthusiasm show us again how much Coltrane, Albert Ayler, and the others he lovingly considers mattered. He brings home to us how music itself matters, and how musicians carry and extend that knowledge from generation to generation, providing us, their listeners, with a sense of meaning and belonging.
Amiri Baraka (1934-2014) was a writer and critic, the poet laureate of New Jersey, and Professor Emeritus of the State University of New York, Stony Brook. His many books include Blues People, Black Music, and The Music.
レビュー
-
If you love jazz, or even if you just want to contact the spirit of it, this is the book for you; (equally if you love some free wheeling, imaginative, out of the box prose-poetry with an African-American beat as perhaps only Amiri Baraka can do it). Radically underpins the status of jazz as America's premier music plus marvelous, insightful appreciations of jazz greats combined with personal anecdotes. Heady and enjoyable without measure.

This is a total scam. Token from South Park would have done a better job. What information might be gleaned here is buried deeply under swagger.. Mostly, information is absent.
