It's no crime for cats of any colour to get together and blow.' In Cats of Any Color, Gene Lees takes a long overdue look at the shocking pervasiveness of racism in jazz's past and present - both the white racism that long ghettoized the music and generations of talented black musicians, and what Lees maintains is an increasingly virulent reverse racism aimed at white jazz musicians. In candid interviews, living jazz legends such as Horace Silver, Red Rodney (Charlie Parker's white trumpet player), and Dave Brubeck (part Modoc Indian), step forward and share their thoughts on how racism has affected their lives. At the heart of this book is a passionate plea to recognize jazz not as the sole property of any one group, but as an art form celebrating the human spirit. 606 $aJazz musicians$vBiography 606 $aJazz$xHistory and criticism 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations$xHistory 615 0$aJazz musicians 615 0$aJazz$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a781.65/092/2 700 $aLees$b Gene$01624197 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819948203321 996 $aCats of any color$94068082 997 $aUNINA
