Abstract:
The author offers a new way of listening to the music of black America, and appreciating its profound contribution to all American music. By breaking down the barriers that remain between high art and low art, it illuminates the centuries-old linkage between the music, myths and rituals of Africa and the continuing evolution and enduring vitality of African-American music.
