What does jazz "mean" 20 years into the 21st century? Has streaming
culture rendered music literally meaningless, thanks to the removal
of all context beyond the playlist? Are there any traditions left
to explore? Has the destruction of the apprenticeship model (young
musicians learning from their elders) changed the music
irrevocably? Are any sounds off limits? How far out can you go and
still call it "jazz"? Or should the term be retired? These
questions, and many more, are answered in Ugly Beauty, as Phil
Freeman digs through his own experiences and conversations with
present-day players. Jazz has never seemed as vital as it does
right now, and has a genuine role to play in 21st-century culture,
particularly in the US and the UK.
