Watching Jazz: Encounters with Jazz Performance on Screen is the
first systematic study of jazz on screen media. Where earlier
studies have focused almost entirely on the role and portrayal of
jazz in Hollywood film, the present book engages with a plethora of
technologies and media from early film and soundies through
television to recent developments in digital technologies and
online media. Likewise, the authors discuss jazz in the widest
sense, ranging from Duke Ellington and Jimmy Dorsey through the
likes of Dizzy Gillespie, Art Blakey, Oscar Peterson, Miles Davis,
John Coltrane and Charles Mingus to Pat Metheny. Much of this rich
and fascinating material has never been studied in depth before,
and what emerges most clearly are the manifold connections between
the music and the media on which it was and is being recorded. Its
long association with film and television has left its trace in
jazz, just as online and social media are subtly shaping it now.
Vice versa, visual media have always benefited from focusing on
music and this significantly affected their development. The book
follows these interrelations, showing how jazz was presented and
represented on screen and what this tells us about the music, the
people who made it and their audiences. The result is a new
approach to jazz and the media, which will be required reading for
students of both fields.
