Blue: The Murder of Jazz
Blue: The Murder of Jazz

Jazz industry's demise; marketing, media, talent critique.

If you're a fan of jazz or curious about the challenges facing the music industry, "Blue" by Eric Nisenson is an insightful read that does more than just scratch the surface. It delves into the heart of the problems that jazz, a once-thriving art form, encounters in the modern era. The author's passionate analysis might resonate with you, especially if you're interested in the interplay between culture, commerce, and authenticity.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

A disturbing and provocative examination of the author's conviction that jazz is dying, this book explains how the musical form has lost its edge through the corruption of mass marketing, mainstream appropriation, and the lack of artistry displayed by today's musicians.
