When Genres Collide is a provocative history that rethinks the
relationship between jazz and rock through the lens of the two
oldest surviving and most influential American popular music
periodicals: Down Beat and Rolling Stone. Writing in 1955, Duke
Ellington argued that the new music called rock 'n' roll "is the
most raucous form of jazz, beyond a doubt." So why did jazz and
rock subsequently become treated as separate genres? The rift
between jazz and rock (and jazz and rock scholarship) is based on a
set of received assumptions about their fundamental differences,
but there are other ways popular music history could have been
written. By offering a fresh examination of key historical moments
when the trajectories and meanings of jazz and rock intersected,
overlapped, or collided, it reveals how music critics constructed
an ideological divide between jazz and rock that would be
replicated in American musical discourse for decades to follow.
