Book synopsis

"Jazz/Not Jazz is an innovative and inspiring investigation of jazz as it is practiced, theorized and taught today. Taking their cues from current debates within jazz scholarship, the contributors to this collection open up jazz studies to a transdisciplinarity that is rich in its diversity of approaches, candid in its appraisals of critical worth, transparent in its ideological suppositions, and catholic in its subjects/objects of inquiry.--Kevin Fellezs, author of Birds of Fire: Jazz, Rock, Funk and the Creation of Fusion."This collection is a delight. Each essay opens up some previously ignored aspect of jazz history. Anyone who knows the New Jazz Studies and is wise enough to acquire this book will immediately devour it."--Krin Gabbard, author of Hotter Than That: The Trumpet, Jazz, and American Culture."This volume is truly one of a kind, eminently readable and filled with new insights. It will make an extremely important contribution to jazz literature."--Jeffrey Taylor, Director, H. Wiley Hitchcock Institute for Studies in American Music, Brooklyn College.
