Jazz According to Me: Selected Works (Paperback) by Tom Smith

9798713213824. New condition. Trade paperback. Language: English. Pages: 592. Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. 592 p. Second Edition: Tom Smith is arguably the most controversial reporter of twenty-first century jazz. He is a world class performer, educator and researcher, who believes jazz is imprisoned by socio-political factions uncaring of art in and of itself. He also rebels against historical revision, political opportunism, and the stifling of innovation. *** This 'best of' collection is extracted from the six books Tom has written for Bunk Johnson Publishing, and will (as always) reveal much of what is seldom told.
