Between Beats: The Jazz Tradition and Black Vernacular Dance
Wells, Christi Jay (Assistant Professor of Musicology, Assistant Professor of Musicology, Arizona State University)
Between Beats: The Jazz Tradition and Black Vernacular Dance offers a new look at the complex intersections between jazz music and popular dance over the last hundred-plus years. Author Christi Jay Wells shows how popular entertainment and cultures of social dancing were crucial to jazz music's formation and development even as jazz music came to earn a reputation as a "legitimate" art form better suited for still, seated listening.
