Editorial Review

Product Description

In the essay Jazz and the White Critic” LeRoi Jones observes: Most jazz critics have been white Americans, but most important jazz musicians have not been.” In Black Music, his perceptive and provocative collection of articles, reviews, profiles, interviews, liner notes, and new essays, Jones has offered a remedy of sorts. In brilliant discussions of Billie Holiday, Thelonious Monk, Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Sonny Rollins, Cecil Taylor, Archie Shepp, Don Cherry, and Sun-Ra, he examines each musician’s personality, background, musical ambitions, accomplishments, and disappointments, to illuminate both the context and spirit of jazz.

Amazon.com Review
This scintillating collection by Amiri Imamu Baraka, publishedin 1968 under his birth name Leroi Jones, covers a wide range of jazzwritings from 1959 to 1967. Baraka's engaging and prophetic portraitsof Sonny Rollins, Wayne Shorter, Bobby Bradford, Cecil Taylor,Thelonious Monk, Roy Haynes, Don Cherry, and John Coltrane (whom hecalled "the heaviest spirit") beam with an electric andfluid language that mirrors those artists' speed-of-lightimprovisations. In "Jazz and the White Critic," which blastswhite critics who judge jazz by European, rather than AfricanAmerican, standards, Jones wrote, "As Western people, thesociocultural thinking of 18th-century Europe comes to us as historyand legacy that is a continuous and organic part of the 20th-centuryWest. The sociocultural philosophy of the Negro in America ... is noless specific and no less important for any intelligent criticalspeculation about the music that came out of it." His analysis ofthe burgeoning avant-garde scene in "Apple Cores #1-6,""New York Loft and Coffee Shop Jazz," and "The JazzAvant-Garde" accurately depicts the artistic promise and peril ofthat period in the words of a literary genius who was there and helpedcreate it. --Eugene Holley Jr. ...

For anyone who wants an educated and scholarly look at 1960s Jazz
Jazz caught hold in the early twentieth century and has stayed strong through it. "Black Music" is a collection of jazz criticisms and thought from Amiri Baraka, also known as Leroi Jones. Focusing on the 1960s, Akashic books has reprinted this acclaimed volume as Baraka offers much insight into Jazz legends such as Johnathan Coltrane, Miles Davis, and many more. For anyone who wants an educated and scholarly look at 1960s Jazz, "Black Music" is an ideal selection.

Politics and Art
Too often, Baraka is critiqued for his artistry or his politics alone--with Black Music, the floor gets opened to anyone or everyone with an opinion on jazz or blues music.Black Music is Baraka's smart, personally charged account of the forms and culture inherent to black music, and thus its political value as a testament to a nation within a nation. Reading Baraka's intimate thoughts on such a personal subject should be the sole impetus for the reader.

OK but why all the hype?
After hearing Leroi Jones on Sunny Murray and the NYAQ's records, and reading little excerpts of some of his reviews in books on free jazz, I thought I'd pick this up and check it out.I did; it was OK; but not muchmore than OK. I felt like most of the information available here is readilyfound elsewhere, and that any new perspective he brings to the issues(meaning basically a black nationalist/radical one) is easily enoughvisible in other places--better to read Fanon or Malcolm X than to let thatmusic play in the background in a jazz book like this one. If that's yourtaste you might be better off with John Szwed's book on Sun Ra. This bookis OK though, and if you haven't already read a number of jazz books youmight find it fresh and interesting--I simply didn't. Well written though. ... Read more
