A Night in Tunisia : Imaginings of Africa in Jazz Hardback
by Norman Weinstein
Hardback
Description
This is a study of the Afrocentric imagination set to a jazzy beat.
The African connection to jazz through recordings has never been fully analyzed until now.
In this ground-breaking study, poet and critic Norman Weinstein reveals a long-neglected thread running throughout jazz history.
Spotlighting the African-inspired recordings of thirteen major musicians-Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, John Coltrane, George Russell, John Carter, Count Ossie, Randy Weston, Max Roach, Pierre Dorge, Archie Shepp, Yusef Lateef, Sunny Murray, and Ronald Shannon Jackson-he also offers a comprehensive discography cataloging the recordings of hundreds more.
A Night in Tunisia illuminates the affection, humor, concern, curiosity, anger, and pride toward Africa that jazz artists have manifested in their recordings.
