Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 November 2008
Extract
Wilfrid Mellers was one of the first scholars of American music to recognise that jazz was situated within many of the major contexts and controversies of American civilisation. In Music in a New Found Land (1965) and Caliban Reborn (1967), he argued eloquently that jazz was the music which both expressed and challenged urban alienation from a distinctly African-American point of view.
