New
York City has always been a mecca in the history of jazz, and in many
ways the city’s jazz scene is more important now than ever before. Blowin’ the Blues Away
examines how jazz has thrived in New York following its popular
resurgence in the 1980s. Using interviews, in-person observation, and
analysis of live and recorded events, ethnomusicologist Travis A.
Jackson explores both the ways in which various participants in the New
York City jazz scene interpret and evaluate performance, and the
criteria on which those interpretations and evaluations are based.
Through the notes and words of its most accomplished performers and most
ardent fans, jazz appears not simply as a musical style, but as a
cultural form intimately influenced by and influential upon American
concepts of race, place, and spirituality.
