\u201cLa mayor\u00eda de los cr\u00edticos de jazz han sido hasta ahora americanos blancos, mientras que los m\u00fasicos m\u00e1s importantes no.\u201d Con esta frase comienza la compilaci\u00f3n que el lector tiene en sus manos, en la que se documenta uno de los ejercicios de cr\u00edtica musical m\u00e1s radicales y salvajes que alguna vez se haya puesto en pr\u00e1ctica. En estos ensayos, rese\u00f1as, entrevistas, notas para discos, cr\u00f3nicas e impresiones personales publicados entre 1959 y 1967, Amiri Baraka retrata la floreciente escena del free jazz, un movimiento que implic\u00f3 una profundizaci\u00f3n de las innovaciones sonoras del bebop y la recuperaci\u00f3n del jazz como expresi\u00f3n autentica de la cultura afroamericana en un momento en el que su \u00e9xito comercial lo hab\u00eda vuelto un g\u00e9nero estandarizado y digerible para la Am\u00e9rica blanca. Figura central y aglutinante del movimiento beatnik en los a\u00f1os 50 y del Black Power en d\u00e9cadas posteriores, Amiri Baraka hace uso de un lenguaje el\u00e9ctrico y furioso que refleja la libertad de improvisaci\u00f3n del free jazz para dejar en claro que esta m\u00fasica solo puede ser comprendida como parte de un cuerpo de experiencias que a lo largo del siglo XX dieron forma a una nueva conciencia sobre lo que significaba ser negro en los Estados Unidos. Y que por ello sus int\u00e9rpretes, entre quienes destaca a John Coltrane (\u201csu m\u00fasica es una de las razones por las que el suicidio parece una cosa tan aburrida\u201d), Ornette Coleman, Archie Shepp, Sun Ra, Thelonious Monk, Albert Ayler, Pharoah Sanders, Sonny Rollins, Don Cherry, Wayne Shorter y Cecil Taylor, deben ser considerados, adem\u00e1s de grandes m\u00fasicos, como \u201cintelectuales o m\u00edsticos, o ambas cosas\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
