[lbo-talk] Black music makes history

[dave dorkin]

Jazz in many ways mirrored the development of western
classical music from something like entertainment and
often backdrop to deliberate "art music", though the
periods were compressed tremendously and where an
analogous classical period that might have lasted a
century lasted 10 or 20 years in jazz. There are a few
people who have written on these parallels (Dave
Liebman is one). It is interesting that as jazz has
grown so to speak, at this point, there are many
people, in the US especially, who have very
conservative views on what would even constitute jazz.

concet music evolved from chamber music.
