Recenzii
Biven's sweeping study of jazz/religion takes a remarkably wide scope built up from broad definitions... By posing such a broad range of engaging questions, Bivens makes tremendous contributions to jazz studies.
[A] fascinating look into the religious and spiritual elements of the jazz life, a subject long talked about but until now with little clarity. Bivins is uniquely qualified to speak about jazz and its place in the spiritual life of America. To those who have wondered how a music can be so involving and meaningful to its musicians and fans, this book provides an answer.
[A] well-researched, meticulously annotated achievement. Jason Bivins elucidates the connection of jazz improvised music and religion and spirituality in a comprehensive way. Every manifestation of this connection in this musical art form is presented here. The book is more than that. It is-like William James's The Varieties of Religious Experience-a book of philosophy, which causes the reader to understand and feel, reaching the spiritual center within.
Jason Bivins has produced an intellectual tour de force, a prodigious work of far-flung research, impassioned analysis, and incandescent prose. By juxtaposing religion and jazz, Bivins challenges us to get our minds around two forms of social practice that continually press against and escape the bonds of language. This is an ecstatic book in every sense of the word.
