Stanley Crouch-MacArthur Genius" Award recipient, co-founder of
Jazz at Lincoln centre, National Book Award nominee, and perennial
bull in the china shop of black intelligentsia-has been writing
about jazz and jazz artists for more than thirty years. His
reputation for controversy is exceeded only by a universal respect
for his intellect and passion. As Gary Giddons notes: Stanley may
be the only jazz writer out there with the kind of rhinoceros hide
necessary to provoke and outrage and then withstand the
fulminations that come back." In Considering Genius , Crouch
collects some of his best loved, most influential, and most
controversial pieces (published in Jazz Times , The New Yorker ,
the Village Voice , and elsewhere), together with two new essays.
The pieces range from the introspective Jazz Criticism and Its
Effect on the Art Form" to a rollicking debate with Amiri Baraka,
to vivid, intimate portraits of the legendary performers Crouch has
known.
