Landing on the Wrong Note - Jazz, Dissonance, and Critical Practice (Hardcover)

In Landing on the Wrong Note, Ajay Heble provides a groundbreaking analysis of jazz in its cultural context and a lucid exploration of the music itself. Drawing on personal anecdotes, observation, conversations with jazz artists, and cultural theory, Heble demonstrates that although jazz may be free-form, its rich and varied history makes it an important point of entry into some of the most hotly contested issues of our era - power, identity, representation, history, ethics, and social change.
