Today, jazz history is dominated by iconic figures who have taken
on an almost God-like status. From Satchmo to Duke, Bird to Trane,
these legendary jazzmen form the backbone of the jazz tradition.
Jazz icons not only provide musicians and audiences with
figureheads to revere but have also come to stand for a number of
values and beliefs that shape our view of the music itself. Jazz
Icons explores the growing significance of icons in jazz and
discusses the reasons why the music's history is increasingly
dependent on the legacies of 'great men'. Using a series of
individual case studies, Whyton examines the influence of jazz
icons through different forms of historical mediation, including
the recording, language, image and myth. The book encourages
readers to take a fresh look at their relationship with iconic
figures of the past and challenges many of the dominant narratives
in jazz today.
