Tenth edition of jazz lessons by Stefano Zenni

In the narration of jazz, Africa always and only occupies the place of the original source, of a mythical, historical and ideological reference. But in the evolution of black music, Africa is much more: a galaxy of cultures in movement, a rich mosaic of genres and styles of different historical depths, a continent at the center of exchanges, hybridizations, transatlantic and Mediterranean movements in different and multiple cultural directions. In this tenth edition of Jazz Lessons we bring Africa back to the center of the picture and give it back the dynamic role it has conquered in history, including jazz, out of clichés and falsifications.
