For the first time in English, the classic volume that developed a
radical new understanding of free jazz and African American
culture. 1971, French jazz critics Philippe Carles and Jean-Louis
Comolli cowrote Free Jazz/Black Power, a treatise on the racial and
political implications of jazz and jazz criticism. It remains a
testimony to the long ignored encounter of radical African American
music and French left-wing criticism. Carles and Comolli set out to
defend a genre vilified by jazz critics on both sides of the
Atlantic by exposing the new sound's ties to African American
culture, history, and the political struggle that was raging in the
early 1970s. The two offered a political and cultural history of
black presence in the United States to shed more light on the
dubious role played by jazz criticism in racial oppression. This
analysis critiques the critics, building a work of cultural studies
in a time and place where the practice was virtually unknown. The
authors reached radical conclusions--free jazz was a revolutionary
reaction against white domination, was the musical counterpart to
the Black Power movement, and was a music that demanded a similar
political commitment. The impact of this book is difficult to
overstate, as it made readers reconsider their response to African
American music. In some cases it changed the way musicians thought
about and played jazz. Free Jazz/ Black Power remains indispensable
to the study of the relation of American free jazz to European
audiences, critics, and artists.

In 1971, French jazz critics Philippe Carles and Jean-Louis
Comolli co-wrote "Free Jazz/Black Power," a treatise on the racial
and political implications of jazz and jazz criticism. It remains a
testimony to the long ignored encounter of radical African American
music and French left-wing criticism. Carles and Comolli set out to
defend a genre vilified by jazz critics on both sides of the

early 1970s. The two offered a political and cultural history of

dubious role played by jazz criticism in racial oppression.
This analysis of jazz criticism and its production is astutely
self-aware. It critiques the critics, building a work of cultural
studies in a time and place where the practice was virtually
unknown. The authors reached radical conclusions--free jazz was a
revolutionary reaction against white domination, was the musical
counterpart to the Black Power movement, and was a music that

response to African American music. In some cases it changed the
way musicians thought about and played jazz. "Free Jazz / Black
Power" remains indispensable to the study of the relation of
American free jazz to European audiences, critics, and artists.
This monumental critique caught the spirit of its time and also
realigned that zeitgeist.
Der habilitierte Physiker Philipp Carl (1837-1891) hegte grosses
Interesse fur Astronomie und verwirklichte sich auch beruflich in
diesem Bereich, als er begann, bei der Sternwarte in Bogenhausen zu
arbeiten, sich der Herstellung von astronomischen Instrumenten zu
widmen und Schriften zu verfassen. 1864 erschien im Zuge dessen das
vorliegende Werk, das sich mit der Kometen-Astronomie seiner Zeit
beschaftigt und eine Ubersicht uber die bis dato entdeckten Kometen
erteilt. Dabei beschreibt er diese umfassend, gibt tabellarisch
Einsicht in die Elemente der Bahnen, auf denen die Kometen sich
bewegen und belegt erfolgte Beobachtungen mit exakten Daten.
