Description

Explore the deep connections between music and thought with Jazz and the Philosophy of Art by Routledge. This groundbreaking text is the first book in English to focus exclusively on the philosophical questions surrounding jazz. Co-authored by three prominent philosophers of art, it offers a deep look into the genre through a unique academic lens. The book covers a wide range of topics including bebop, minstrelsy, Voodoo, and social and tap dancing. It also examines historical and technical aspects such as parades, phonography, musical forgeries, and jazz singing. Readers will find rigorous analysis of complex theories, including Goodman's allographic/autographic distinction and Adorno's critique of popular music. By exploring what improvisation is and is not, this work provides a structured study organized into three distinct parts. This book is a valuable resource for students, academics, and music lovers seeking to understand the philosophical foundations of jazz.
