Paul Allen Anderson

Deep River

Music and Memory in Harlem Renaissance Thought

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"Paul Anderson's "Deep River" is the best, most convincing, and most richly textured work on black socio-musical criticism in print. In examining the views of twelve commentators on black music, ranging from W. E. B. DuBois and his 'sorrow songs' theory to Wynton Marsalis and his jazz neoclassicism, Anderson builds his interpretations and critiques on that of previous and current critics to develop a sophisticated examination and treatment of important ideas about social and cultural positioning of black music in America. I recommend this book to anyone interested in black music as a field of study or inquiry."--Samuel A. Floyd, Jr., Columbia College
