Description

"A companion volume to Reading Jazz, Writing Jazz is the first comprehensive historical anthology of writings on jazz by African-American musicians, critics, writers, and poets. Arranged chronologically, with equal attention paid to both criticism and lyrical art, this collection encompasses voices from the Spirituals and the Blues to Free Jazz and the Black Arts Movement. Editor David Meltzer adds his own breadth of knowledge on jazz to the brew with his "Pre-text" introduction and afterthought "Sub-text" discussion."--BOOK JACKET.
