Black Music

In the essay ÂJazz and the White Criticâ LeRoi Jones observes: ÂMost jazz critics have been white Americans, but most important jazz musicians have not been.â In Black Music , his perceptive and provocative collection of articles, reviews, profiles, interviews, liner notes, and new essays, Jones has offered a remedy of sorts. In brilliant discussions of Billie Holiday, Thelonious Monk, Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Sonny Rollins, Cecil Taylor, Archie Shepp, Don Cherry, and Sun-Ra, he examines each musician's personality, background, musical ambitions, accomplishments, and disappointments, to illuminate both the context and spirit of jazz.
