Change

The 'New Thing' and Modern Jazz

Beschreibung

Change: The New Thing and Modern Jazz tells the story of the twentieth-century abstract music now referred to as free jazz, or jazz's new thing as it was known in the early 1960s. By making connections between how and why artists created this work, its cultural significances, and its complicated reception in the music press of the 1960s, author Kwami Coleman provides readers with ways to listen to and understand this innovative and disruptive music.
