Adorno's writings on jazz are notoriously dismissive. Nevertheless, Adorno does have faith in the critical potential of some musical traditions. Music, he suggests, can provide insight into the controlling, destructive nature of modern society while offering a glimpse of more empathetic and less violent ways of being together in the world. Taking Adorno down a path he did not go, this book calls attention to an alternative sociality made manifest in jazz. In response to writing that tends to portray it as a mirror of American individualism and democracy, Fumi Okiji makes the case for jazz as a model of "gathering in difference. "Noting that this mode of subjectivity emerged in response to the distinctive history of black America, she reveals that the music cannot but call the integrity of the world into question. 606 $aJazz$xHistory and criticism 606 $aJazz$xPhilosophy and aesthetics 606 $aAfrican American musicians 606 $aAfrican American aesthetics 606 $aAesthetics, Black 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJazz$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aJazz$xPhilosophy and aesthetics. 615 0$aAfrican American musicians. 615 0$aAfrican American aesthetics. 615 0$aAesthetics, Black. 676 $a781.65117 700 $aOkiji$b Fumi$f1976-$01044305 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466841003321 996 $aJazz as critique$92469877 997 $aUNINA
