Despite
the plethora of writing about jazz, little attention has been paid to
what musicians themselves have written and said about their practice.
And it is this lack that Eric Porter seeks to correct in his creative
intellectual history of African-American musicians. He foregrounds the
often-ignored ideas of these artists, analyzing them in the contect of
meanings circulating around jazz, as well as in relationship to broader
currents in African-American thought.
