How do we speak about jazz? In this provocative study based on the
author's deep immersion in the New York City jazz scene, Tom
Greenland turns from the usual emphasis on artists and their music
to focus on non-performing participants, describing them as active
performers in their own right who witness and thus collaborate in a
happening made one-of-a-kind by improvisation, mood, and moment.
Jazzing shines a spotlight on the constituency of proprietors,
booking agents, photographers, critics, publicists, painters,
amateur musicians, fans, friends, and tourists that makes up New
York City's contemporary jazz scene. Drawn from deep ethnographic
research, interviews, and long term participant observation,
Jazzing charts the ways New York's distinctive physical and
social-cultural environment affects and is affected by jazz.
Throughout, Greenland offers a passionate argument in favor of a
radically inclusive conception of music-making, one in which
individuals collectively improvise across social contexts to
co-create community and musical meaning. An odyssey through the
clubs and other performance spaces on and off the beaten track,
Jazzing is an insider's view of a vibrant urban art world.
