Jazz and American Religion

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Spirits Rejoice! takes its name from a record by jazz saxophonist of the mid- 1960s, Albert Ayler--later used, with an exclamation point added, by Louis Moholo-Moholo--and is appropriated in Jason Bivins's book to express the overlap of religion and jazz music through history. Bivins explore themes that have resounded throughout the musical genre that are also integral to the practice of religions in the United States.
