Very good; Collectible. Published by St. Martin's Griffin in 1998. Paperback copy in very good condition. Inscribed by the author to a previous owner by the author on the title page. No other marks or writing in the book. 208 pages. In these pages, the author chronicles two decades of upheaval in the jazz world and presents a persuasive vision of the music's continuing role in our culture. A tour-de-force mixture of reportage, criticism, and essay, this book confronts the central questions facing music today: Is there a conflict between innovation and tradition? Is there such a thing as "progress" in the arts? His answers are provocative and original, and his survey of the music, coming at a crucial time in its history, is fresh and exhilarating on every page.
