How the claim to jazz knowledge forges community and forms an
understanding of canon Ken Prouty argues that knowledge of jazz, or
more to the point, claims to knowledge of jazz, are the prime
movers in forming jazz's identity, its canon, and its community.
Every jazz artist, critic, or fan understands jazz differently,
based on each individual's unique experiences and insights. Through
playing, listening, reading, and talking about jazz, both as a form
of musical expression and as a marker of identity, each aficionado
develops a personalized relationship to the larger jazz world.
Through the increasingly important role of media, listeners also
engage in the formation of different communities that not only
transcend traditional boundaries of geography, but increasingly
exist only in the virtual world. The relationships of "jazz people"
within and between these communities is at the center of Knowing
Jazz. Some groups, such as those in academia, reflect a clash of
sensibilities between historical traditions. Others, particularly
online communities, represent new and exciting avenues for everyday
fans, whose involvement in jazz has often been ignored. Other
communities seek to define themselves as expressions of national or
global sensibility, pointing to the ever-changing nature of jazz's
identity as an American art form in an international setting. What
all these communities share, however, is an intimate, visceral link
to the music and the artists who make it, brought to life through
the medium of recording. Informed by an interdisciplinary approach
and approaching the topic from a number of perspectives, Knowing
Jazz charts a philosophical course in which many disparate
perspectives and varied opinions on jazz can find common ground.
