JAZZ
from the Belly of the BLUES <--Loved Jazz then;
Love Jazz now! -->
|
|
|
As a longtime painter/printmaker, I have a variety of art interests and have used a variety of art mediums. During the last three decades, reminiscences and independent studies have led me to conclude that there has been a continuous jitterbug dance which has partnered Jazz with American History.
There has been a broad spectrum of Americans who have danced around with the originators of Jazz. As if in a Jazz-dance partnership, many Americans have determined to fling out the jazz originators, then pull them in; twirl and become twirled; move to ignore, and then turn about to engage; tread upon toes and sometimes get stepped upon in return. Such styles of dance may vary from dismissal to invitational and even to courtship. The hope is that this dance can become more graceful and more harmonious with each day's efforts.In my opinion, President Obama's position lends the greatest hope ever for making the Jazz/American History dance harmonious. I offer this book, Jazz from the Belly of the Blues, as an entertaining tonic to help enhance the dancing harmony in this partnership-dance of majority Americans with minority Americans. |
