520    One of jazz’s leading critics gives us an invigorating, 
       richly detailed portrait of the artists and events that 
       have shaped the music of our time. Grounded in authority 
       and brimming with style, Playing Changes is the first book
       to take the measure of this exhilarating moment: it is a 
       compelling argument for the resiliency of the art form and
       a rejoinder to any claims about its calcification or 
       demise. zPlaying changes,y in jazz parlance, has long 
       referred to an improviser’s resourceful path through a 
       chord progression. Playing Changes boldly expands on the 
       idea, highlighting a host of significant 
       changes—ideological, technological, theoretical, and 
       practical—that jazz musicians have learned to navigate 
       since the turn of the century. Nate Chinen, who has 
       chronicled this evolution firsthand throughout his 
       journalistic career, vividly sets the backdrop, charting 
       the origins of jazz historicism and the rise of an 
       institutional framework for the music. He traces the 
       influence of commercialized jazz education and reflects on
       the implications of a globalized jazz ecology. He unpacks 
       the synergies between jazz and postmillennial hip-hop and 
       R&B, illuminating an emergent rhythm signature for the 
       music. And he shows how a new generation of shape-shifting
       elders, including Wayne Shorter and Henry Threadgill, have
       moved the aesthetic center of the music. Woven throughout 
       the book is a vibrant cast of characters—from the 
       saxophonists Steve Coleman and Kamasi Washington to the 
       pianists Jason Moran and Vijay Iyer to the bassist and 
       singer Esperanza Spalding—who have exerted an important 
       influence on the scene. This is an adaptive new music for 
       a complex new reality, and Playing Changes is the 
       definitive guide.
