<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>From a preeminent--and always controversial--jazz critic and intellectual firebrand comes the long-awaited collections of essential essays on the great music and performers of the jazz world.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Stanley Crouch-MacArthur Genius Award recipient, co-founder of Jazz at Lincoln Center, National Book Award nominee, and perennial bull in the china shop of black intelligentsia-has been writing about jazz and jazz artists for more than thirty years. His reputation for controversy is exceeded only by a universal respect for his intellect and passion. As Gary Giddons notes: Stanley may be the only jazz writer out there with the kind of rhinoceros hide necessary to provoke and outrage and then withstand the fulminations that come back. In <i>Considering Genius</i>, Crouch collects some of his best loved, most influential, and most controversial pieces (published in <i>Jazz Times</i>, <i>The New Yorker</i>, the <i>Village Voice</i>, and elsewhere), together with two new essays. The pieces range from the introspective Jazz Criticism and Its Effect on the Art Form to a rollicking debate with Amiri Baraka, to vivid, intimate portraits of the legendary performers Crouch has known.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Stanley Crouch</b> is a columnist, novelist, essayist, and television commentator.
