Alleen Vandaag The Future of Jazz

Presents ten essays written by jazz critics addressing vital topics relating to the future of jazz music: the dominance of mainstream jazz, its spread around the world, the difficulty of making a living laying it, the growth of repertory jazz, the dearth of interest among young African Americans, the paradoxically backward-looking nature of the avant-garde, and others.
