Spirits Rejoice!: Jazz and American Religion
ISBN: 9780190230913 / Angielski / Twarda / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Spirits Rejoice Jason Bivins explores the relationship between American religion and American music, and the places where religion and jazz have overlapped.

Rather than providing a history, or series of biographical entries, Spirits Rejoice takes to heart a central characteristic of jazz itself and improvises, generating a collection of themes, pursuits, reoccurring foci, and interpretations. Bivins riffs on interviews, liner notes, journals, audience...
