Harker also connects Armstrong to Guthrie Ramsey's Afro-modernism; see Ramsey, Guthrie P.

I would add that Fred Moten's work sheds light on Harker's invocation of montage and jazz improvisation; see Moten, Fred, In the Break: The Aesthetics of the Black Radical Tradition (Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 2003)Google Scholar.
