New Jazz Conceptions: History, Theory, Practice is an edited
collection that captures the cutting edge of British jazz studies
in the early twenty-first century, highlighting the developing
methodologies and growing interdisciplinary nature of the field. In
particular, the collection breaks down barriers previously
maintained between jazz historians, theorists and practitioners
with an emphasis on interrogating binaries of national/local and
professional/amateur. Each of these essays questions popular
narratives of jazz, casting fresh light on the cultural processes
and economic circumstances which create the music. Subjects covered
include Duke Ellington's relationship with the BBC, the impact of
social media on jazz, a new view of the ban on visiting jazz
musicians in interwar Britain, a study of Dave Brubeck as a
transitional figure in the pages of Melody Maker and BBC2's Jazz
625, the issue of 'liveness' in Columbia's Ellington at Newport
album, a musician and promoter's views of the relationship with
audiences, a reflection on Philip Larkin, Kingsley Amis and Eric
Hobsbawm as jazz critics, a musician's perspective on the oral and
generational tradition of jazz in a British context, and a
meditation on Alan Lomax's Mr. Jelly Roll, and what it tells us
about cultural memory and historical narratives of jazz.
