With more than two dozen in-depth profiles of remarkable Detroit-bred musicians, complemented by a generous selection of photographs, Mark Stryker makes Detroit jazz come alive as he draws out significant connections between the players, eras, styles, and Detroit's distinctive history. Stryker's story starts in the 1940s and '50s, when the auto industry created a thriving black working and middle class in Detroit that supported a vibrant nightlife, and exceptional public school music programs and mentors in the community like pianist Barry Harris transformed the city into a jazz juggernaut. This golden age nurtured many legendary musicians-Hank, Thad, and Elvin Jones, Gerald Wilson, Milt Jackson, Yusef Lateef, Donald Byrd, Tommy Flanagan, Kenny Burrell, Ron Carter, Joe Henderson, and others. As the city's fortunes change, Stryker turns his spotlight toward often overlooked but prescient musician-run cooperatives and self-determination groups of the 1960s and '70s, such as the Strata Corporation and Tribe. In more recent decades, the city's culture of mentorship, embodied by trumpeter and teacher Marcus Belgrave, ensured that Detroit continued to incubate world-class talent; Belgrave proteges like Geri Allen, Kenny Garrett, Robert Hurst, Regina Carter, Gerald Cleaver, and Karriem Riggins helped define contemporary jazz. The resilience of Detroit's jazz tradition provides a powerful symbol of the city's lasting cultural influence. Stryker's 21 years as an arts reporter and critic at the Detroit Free Press are evident in his vivid storytelling and insightful criticism. Jazz from Detroit will appeal to jazz aficionados, casual fans, and anyone interested in the vibrant and complex history of cultural life in Detroit.--Book jacket. 650 0 Jazz|zMichigan|zDetroit|xHistory and criticism. 650 0 Jazz musicians|zMichigan|zDetroit. 650 7 Jazz.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00982165 650 7 Jazz musicians.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00982205 651 7 Michigan|zDetroit.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01205010 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 |iOnline version:|aStryker, Mark, author.|tJazz from Detroit|dAnn Arbor : University of Michigan Press, [2019] |z9780472125913|w(DLC) 2019002614 994 C0|bCKE
