Description

Explore the deep connection between Jewish identity and American jazz in Jews and Jazz: Improvising Ethnicity. Published by Routledge as part of the Transnational Studies in Jazz series, this book examines how prominent musicians used the genre to shape their cultural roles. Through the work of legends like Benny Goodman, Stan Getz, Artie Shaw, and Michael Brecker, the text investigates how jazz served as a tool for ethnic expression. The author analyzes how Jewish musicians navigated American culture by using jazz to integrate into society, highlight their status as minority outsiders, or develop distinct cultural identities. This study provides a unique look at the relationship between musical improvisation and the construction of heritage within the American landscape.
