David Ake's vibrant and original book considers the diverse musics and related identities that jazz communities have shaped over the course of the twentieth century, exploring the many ways in which jazz musicians and audiences experience and understand themselves, their music, their communities, and the world at large. Writing as a professional pianist and composer, the author looks at evolving meanings, values, and ideals--as well as the sounds--that musicians, audiences, and critics carry to and from the various activities they call jazz. Among the compelling topics he discusses is the "visuality" of music: the relationship between performance demeanor and musical meaning. Focusing on pianists Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett, Ake investigates the ways in which musicians' postures and attitudes influence perceptions of them as profound and serious artists. In another essay, Ake examines the musical values and ideals promulgated by college jazz education programs through a consideration of saxophonist John Coltrane. He also discusses the concept of the jazz "standard" in the 1990's and the differing sense of tradition implied in recent recordings by Wynton Marsalis and Bill Frisell. Jazz Cultures shows how jazz history has not consisted simply of a smoothly evolving series of musical styles, but rather an array of individuals and communities engaging with disparate--and often times conflicting--actions, ideals, and attitudes. 606 $aJazz 606 $aJazz$xHistory and criticism 606 $aJazz musicians 610 $aamerican music. 610 $afamous pianist. 610 $ahistory of music. 610 $ajazz communities. 610 $ajazz composer. 610 $ajazz education. 610 $ajazz history. 610 $ajazz music. 610 $ajazz performance. 610 $ajazz pianist. 610 $ajazz piano. 610 $ajazz standards. 610 $ajazz tradition. 610 $ajohn coltrane. 610 $amusic performance. 610 $amusical community. 610 $amusical genres. 610 $amusical history. 610 $amusical styles. 610 $amusicians. 610 $aoriginal music. 610 $aperformance. 610 $apianist. 610 $asaxophone. 610 $atraditional. 615 0$aJazz. 615 0$aJazz$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aJazz musicians. 676 $a781.65 700 $aAke$b David Andrew$f1961-$01501485 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780377003321 996 $aJazz cultures$93822219 997 $aUNINA
