In WRITING JAZZ, Sascha Feinstein gathers fourteen acclaimed voices—including Whitney Balliett, Stanley Crouch, Robin D. G. Kelley, and Ricky Riccardi—for a lively series of interviews on the craft of jazz writing. This “literary jam session” explores liner notes, memoir, biography, and criticism, revealing the passion and rigor behind documenting America’s most improvisational art form, and illuminating both the music and the writers who chronicle it.
