The Jazz Ear
Ben Ratliff
Musicians are often loath to discuss their craft for fear of destroying its improvisational essence, rendering jazz among the most ephemeral and least transparent of the performing arts. This work coaxes out an understanding of the men and women themselves, the context of their work, and how jazz from horn blare to drum riffs created conceptually.
