Product Details
Overview
Kevin Le Gendre brings his extensive knowledge and experience to The Philosophy of Jazz, offering a thoughtful exploration of the mindset, vision, and creative drive of the jazz musician, and of a musical form that has captivated audiences around the world for more than a century.
This is not a conventional history of jazz. Instead, it examines what it truly means to be a jazz artist and the unique alchemy that unfolds between musicians and audience in a live performance. While drawing on key historical and cultural touchstones within Black music and the wider Black experience, the book remains firmly rooted in the present, engaging with today’s vibrant jazz scene and the new directions shaping its evolution.
Insightful and reflective, The Philosophy of Jazz considers jazz not just as a genre, but as a way of thinking, creating, and connecting.
