In The Contradictions of Jazz, Paul Rinzler takes a new approach to
jazz aesthetics and theory by exploring four pairs of opposites
present in jazz: individualism and interconnectedness, assertion
and openness, freedom and responsibility, and creativity and
tradition. By themselves, these eight values speak volumes about
the meaning of jazz and its significance. Understanding how these
opposites coexist in jazz leads to an exploration of the
connections linking jazz with the experiential and existential,
which contrast with the connections between composition and
science. Rinzler explains the various concepts, including either/or
and dialectic thinking, and then examines the pairs of opposites
individually, describing their position and presence in jazz. He
then demonstrates how the larger meaning of these contradictory
opposites depends on ideas from the philosophies of phenomenology
and existentialism. Rinzler considers the opposites inherent in the
product and process of jazz, as well as mistakes and the challenge
of perfection, presenting these values in light of the
contradictions inherent in jazz. With a full bibliography and an
index, The Contradictions of Jazz is a fascinating read for fans
and scholars of jazz history and aesthetics.
