"How does the jazz of Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Fats Waller, Billie Holiday, and Charlie Parker fit into the great tradition of the modern arts between 1920 and 1950? In JAZZ MODERNISM, one of our finest cultural historians provides the answer. Alfred Appel compares the layering of sex, vitality, and the vernacular in jazz with the paper collages of Picasso, and the vital mix of high and low culture found in Joyce. He shows how the musical construct of jazz was pared down by the masters as sculpture was in Calder's hands or prose in Hemingway's. He makes clear how Armstrong and Waller tore apart and rebuilt Tin Pan Alley material in the way that modernists in the visual arts arrived at wood assemblage and scrap-metal sculpture. He enables us to see that Ellington's 'jungle' style was as un-primitive as Brancusi's self-conscious Africanesque sculpture. And along the way, he 'recalls' live jazz performances during the 1950s by Armstrong and John Coltrane, among others, and the night Charlie Parker played to a visibly thrilled Igor Stravinsky at Birdland. Making connections as illuminating as they are unexpected, Alfred Appel gives us a brilliant new way of understanding jazz." [jacket copy] "Appel's mission in this scintillating synthesis is 'to establish the place of classic jazz (1920-50) in the great modernist tradition of the arts.' Playful, punning, and brimming with admiration, Appel nimbly makes fresh, resonant connections across artistic disciplines and racial divides, celebrating the musicians, artists, and writers he believes exemplify 'jazz modernism,' a revolutionary, multicultural movement defined by accessibility, vitality, humor, 'a capacity for joy,' and expression of 'the goals and ideal of racial integration.' Fascinated by how black musicians riffed on the work of white songwriters and composers, from Gershwin and Rodgers to Chopin and Stravinsky, Appel parses the genius of Louis Armstrong, Fats Waller, Billie Holiday, and Duke Ellington with keen discernment and witty lyricism, and then reveals symbiotic viewpoints and aesthetics in Matisse's cut-out series called, aptly enough, Jazz; Picasso's found-object collages and sculptures (the fruits of his 'ragpicker' approach, a parallel to jazz's remaking of existing tunes); the ebullient work of Alexander Calder; and Joyce's Ulysses. Terrific illustrations syncopate neatly with Appel's invigorating and anecdotal observations and jazzed interpretations."--Donna Seaman, Booklist. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, all wrapped in a handsome intact jacket; a typically beautiful Knopf production.…
