Dædalus 148:02 Spring 2019: Why Jazz Still Matters

Dædalus 148:02 Spring 2019: Why Jazz Still Matters

“Why Jazz Still Matters”
Jazz: it has been called both cool and hot, earthy and avant-garde, intellectual and primitive. It is improvisational music touted for the freedom it permits its players, but in its heyday was largely composed and tightly arranged. It tells a story about race in America: not only because African American musicians were so central in its creation and African American audiences so important in their creative responses to it, but because whites played such a dominant role in its dissemination through records and performance venues and its ownership as intellectual and artistic property. But is jazz a relic of the past, or does it continue to have meaning and influence for today’s artists and audiences? And while it may still be present, does it still matter? The Spring 2019 issue of Dædalus, “Why Jazz Still Matters,” explores that very question, gathering together noted writers, artists, and scholars to delve into the legacies and futures of jazz.
