520 8  Jazz from Detroit explores the city's pivotal role in 
       shaping the course of modern and contemporary jazz. 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.
