Is Jazz Dead? examines the state of jazz in America at the turn of
the twenty-first century. Musicians themselves are returning to New
Orleans, Swing, and Bebop styles, while the work of the '60s
avant-garde and even '70s and '80s jazz-rock is roundly ignored.
Meanwhile, global jazz musicians are creating new and exciting
music that is just starting to be heard in the United States,
offering a viable alternative to the rampant conservatism here.
Stuart Nicholson's thought-provoking book offers an analysis of the
American scene, how it came to be so stagnant, and what it can do
to create a new level of creativity. This book is bound to be
controversial among jazz purists and musicians; it will undoubtedly
generate discussion about how jazz should grow now that it has
become a recognized part of American musical history. Is Jazz Dead?
dares to ask the question on all jazz fan's minds: Can jazz survive
as a living medium? And, if so, how?
