The Imperfect Art: Reflections on Jazz and Modern Culture
Gioia, Ted (Lecturer in Jazz Studies, Lecturer in Jazz Studies, Stanford University)
This perceptive study takes a fresh look at jazz in relation to other art forms and places it in the context of contemporary culture. This original approach relates the work of Louis Armstrong, Bix Beiderbecke, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, and Ormette Coleman to such subjects as primitivism, neoclassicism, improvisation, aesthetics, and good taste.
