Jazz Consciousness: Music, Race, and Humanity By Paul Austerlitz
2005 | 302 Pages | ISBN: 0819567825 | PDF | 11 MB
Drawing on his background as an ethnomusicologist as well as years of experience as an accomplished jazz musician, Paul Austerlitz argues that jazz-and the world view or consciousness that surrounds it-embodies an aesthetic of inclusiveness, reaching out from its African American base to engage all of humanity. Fans and musicians have made this claim before, but Austerlitz is the first to examine it from a scholarly perspective. He considers jazz in relation to race and national identity in the United States and then broadens his scope to consider jazz within the African diaspora and in very different transnational scenes, from the Dominican Republic to Finland.Based on extensive fieldwork, this book explores jazz in an extraordinary range of contexts. One of the central chapters is devoted to the history of the groundbreaking Latin jazz band Machito and his Afro-Cubans, who were inspired by the dancing of both Harlemites and Jewish mamboniks. In chapter six, seminal drummer Milford Graves, one of Austerlitz's mentors, shares his philosophy that music profoundly influences our biorhythms and indeed shapes our thoughts.

The Return of Jazz: Joachim-Ernst Berendt and West German Cultural Change By Andrew Wright Hurley
2009 | 322 Pages | ISBN: 1845455665 | PDF | 3 MB
Jazz has had a peculiar and fascinating history in Germany. The influential but controversial German writer, broadcaster, and record producer, Joachim-Ernst Berendt (1922-2000), author of the world's best-selling jazz book, labored to legitimize jazz in West Germany after its ideological renunciation during the Nazi era. German musicians began, in a highly productive way, to question their all-too-eager adoption of American culture and how they sought to make valid artistic statements reflecting their identity as Europeans. This book explores the significance of some of Berendt's most important writings and record productions. Particular attention is given to the "Jazz Meets the World" encounters that he engineered with musicians from Japan, Tunisia, Brazil, Indonesia, and India. This proto-"world music" demonstrates how some West Germans went about creating a post-nationalist identity after the Third Reich. Berendt's powerful role as the West German "Jazz Pope" is explored, as is the groundswell of criticism directed at him in the wake of 1968.

Jazz Diasporas: Race, Music, and Migration in Post-World War II Paris By Rashida K. Braggs
2016 | 280 Pages | ISBN: 0520279344 | PDF | 3 MB
At the close of the Second World War, waves of African American musicians migrated to Paris, eager to thrive in its reinvigorated jazz scene. Jazz Diasporas challenges the notion that Paris was a color-blind paradise for African Americans. On the contrary, musicians adopted a variety of strategies to cope with the cultural and social assumptions that confronted them throughout their careers in Paris, particularly as France became embroiled in struggles over race and identity when colonial conflicts like the Algerian War escalated. Using case studies of prominent musicians and thoughtful analysis of interviews, music, film, and literature, Rashida K. Braggs investigates the impact of this postwar musical migration. She examines key figures including musicians Sidney Bechet, Inez Cavanaugh, and Kenny Clarke and writer and social critic James Baldwin to show how they performed both as artists and as African Americans. Their collaborations with French musicians and critics complicated racial and cultural understandings of who could represent "authentic" jazz and created spaces for shifting racial and national identities-what Braggs terms "jazz diasporas."
