For over a hundred years, jazz embodied non-musical agendas. But recently, the social importance assigned to a jazz definition has been all encompassing. While postmodernists gaslight revision and skewer the market place, others like Tom Smith bemoan dilution of art for art's sake and derailment of newer forms. Like Smith's previous works, 'Critical Jazz Theory' examines this and related topics with a headstrong approach. *** Tom Smith is a trombonist, conductor, Senior Fulbright Professor, Down Beat Jazz Education Hall of Fame inductee, and unrepentant skeptic. He is author of the 'Stealth Jazz' Trilogy books that include 'Stealth Jazz: Behind the Curtain, ' 'Stealth Jazz Part II: Educational Dystopia, ' and 'The Stealth Jazz Abbreviated Guide to Media.
