What is jazz? What is gained—and what is lost—when various communities close ranks around a particular definition ofthis quintessentially American music? Jazz/Not Jazz explores some of the musicians, concepts, places, and practiceswhich, while deeply connected to established jazz institutions and aesthetics, have rarely appeared in traditional historiesof the form. David Ake, Charles Hiroshi Garrett, and Daniel Goldmark have assembled a stellar group of writers to lookbeyond the canon of acknowledged jazz greats and address some of the big questions facing jazz today. More than just ahistory of jazz and its performers, this collections seeks out those people and pieces missing from the establishednarratives to explore what they can tell us about the way jazz has been defined and its history has been told.
