Paperback. Condizione: New. In Tropical Riffs Jason Borge traces how jazz helped forge modern identities and national imaginaries in Latin America during the mid-twentieth century. Across Latin America jazz functioned as a conduit through which debates about race, sexuality, nation, technology, and modernity raged in newspapers, magazines, literature, and film. For Latin American audiences, critics, and intellectuals-who often understood jazz to stem from social conditions similar to their own-the profound penetration into the fabric of everyday life of musicians like Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, and Charlie Parker represented the promises of modernity while simultaneously posing a threat to local and national identities. Brazilian antijazz rhetoric branded jazz as a problematic challenge to samba and emblematic of Americanization. In Argentina jazz catalyzed discussions about musical authenticity, race, and national culture, especially in relation to tango. And in Cuba, the widespread popularity of Chano Pozo and DÁmaso PÉrez Prado popularity challenged the United States' monopoly on jazz. Outlining these hemispheric flows of ideas, bodies, and music, Borge elucidates how "America's art form" was, and remains, a transnational project and a collective idea.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Booker T. Pittman (1909-1969) was a jazz saxophonist and clarinetist who played with greats like Louis Armstrong and Count Basie in the 1920s and 1930s. The maternal grandson of Booker T. Washington, Pittman was tremendously talented and ambitious like his famous grandfather. After starring in local jazz scenes as an alto saxophonist and clarinetist in Kansas City, Harlem, and Paris, in the late 1920s and mid-1930s, Pittman boarded a ship to South America and remained there until his death in 1969. In Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Buenos Aires, and Montevideo, he became a fixture of casinos and nightclubs, a pioneer of the South American musical diaspora, and a formative figure of several jazz scenes. He also struggled mightily with drugs and alcohol, and on more than one occasion disappeared into the Brazilian and Uruguayan backlands. Ultimately, though, he returned to sobriety, stability, and the spotlight, fulfilling his potential in Brazil in the 1950s and 1960s. Jazz Odyssey: The Global Lives of Booker T. Pittman combines accessible music analysis with global cultural history, while telling a compelling story of a figure whose life spanned some of the most celebrated-and also some of the most obscure-chapters in jazz history. Based on extensive archival research but written for the general audience, Jazz Odyssey will appeal equally to jazz fans and scholars, as well as readers interested in a fascinating family saga that includes the stories of Pittman's wife Ofélia and stepdaughter Eliana, who is herself a notable singer and actress.…
