About
Explores the work of John Lewis, one of the most vital practitioners of Third Stream music, the 1950s hybrid of jazz and classical music. Coady shows how Lewis's fusion works helped shore up a failing jazz industry in the wake of the 1940s big band decline, forging a new sound grounded in middle-class African American musical traditions.
