Black Music Matters: Jazz and the Transformation of Music Studies
is one of the first books to promote the reform of music studies
with a centralized presence of jazz and black music to ground
American musicians in a core facet of their true cultural heritage.
Ed Sarath applies an emergent consciousness-based worldview called
Integral Theory to music studies while drawing upon overarching
conversations on diversity and race and a rich body of literature
on the seminal place of black music in American culture. Combining
a visionary perspective with an activist tone, Sarath installs jazz
and black music in as a foundation for a new paradigm of
twenty-first-century musical training that will yield an
unprecedented skill set for transcultural navigation among
musicians. Sarath analyzes prevalent patterns in music studies
change discourse, including an in-depth critique of
multiculturalism, and proposes new curricular and organizational
systems along with a new model of music inquiry called Integral
Musicology. This jazz/black music paradigm further develops into a
revolutionary catalyst for development of creativity and
consciousness in education and society at large. Sarath's work
engages all those who share an interest in black-white race
dynamics and its musical ramifications, spirituality and
consciousness, and the promotion of creativity throughout all forms
of intellectual and personal expression.
