Christopher Coady explores the work ofone of the form's most vital practitioners, following Lewis from his role as an arranger for Miles Davis's Birth of the Cool sessions to his leadershipof the Modern Jazz Quartet, his tours of Europe, and his stewardship of the Lenox School of Jazz. Along the way Coady shows how Lewis's fusion works helped shore up a failing jazz industry in the wake of the 1940s big band decline, forging a new sound grounded in middle-class African American musical traditions. By taking into account the sociocultural milieu of the 1950s, Coady provides a wider context for understanding the music Lewis wrote for the Modern Jazz Quartet and sets up new ways of thinking about Cool Jazzand Third Stream music more broadly. 410 0$aJazz perspectives (Ann Arbor, Mich.) 606 $aAfrican American jazz musicians$xHistory and criticism 606 $aThird stream (Music)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aJazz$y1941-1950$xHistory and criticism 606 $aJazz$y1951-1960$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMusic and race$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aAfrican American jazz musicians$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aThird stream (Music)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aJazz$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aJazz$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMusic and race$xHistory 676 $a781.65092 700 $aCoady$b Christopher$f1980-$01245614 712 02$aMichigan Publishing (University of Michigan) 801 0$bMiU 801 1$bMiU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136025803321 996 $aJohn Lewis and the challenge of "real" black music$92888808 997 $aUNINA
