Publisher Synopsis
"Academic theorizing about jazz has traditionally lagged far behind the inspired playing of it with the field of jazz writing dominated by magazine journalists and social commentators. This has often been a relief, making the literature of jazz unburdened by the obfusacatory language and petty point-scoring of the academic establishment. Since 1990 some excellent jazz academicians have emerged such as Krin Gabbard, Graham Lock, Ingrid Monson, Nathaniel Mackey, Paul Berliner, and George E. Lewis, who incorporate the best of the jazz writing tradition whilst riffing a new discourse using the resources of cultural theory. Some of them are represented here in this excellent comprehensive collection of writings about the politics and aesthetics of improvisation."--Alan Rice, Journal of American Studies"The Other Side of Nowhere is an important and wide-ranging contribution to the growing fields of improvisation studies and cultural theory. It provides a fascinating array of contributions from musicians, artists, scholars, critics and promoters. The book's in-depth treatment of an often marginalized cultural and musical form and its timely interdisciplinary approach to its subject make it extremely significant."--David Borgo, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Music, University of California at San Diego Read more...
