Description
In charting the life and times of Gordon Stretton, this text makes a major contribution to both jazz and popular music studies. By asking historians to re-evaluate the contributions made to the development of jazz by those “other than” African Americans, it proposes new jazz histories emanating from pathways, influences and encounters.
