But jazz has also entered the cultural mix through its significant impact on novelists, filmmakers, dancers, painters, biographers, and photographers. \u003ci\u003eRepresenting Jazz\u003c\/i\u003e explores the other history of jazz created by these artists, a history that tells us as much about the meaning of the music as do the many books that narrate the lives of musicians or describe their recordings. \u003cbr\u003eKrin Gabbard has gathered essays by distinguished writers from a variety of fields. They provide engaging analyses of films such as \u003ci\u003eRound Midnight\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBird\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMo' Better Blues\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCabin in the Sky\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eJammin' the Blues;\u003c\/i\u003e the writings of Eudora Welty and Dorothy Baker; the careers of the great lindy hoppers of the 1930s and 1940s; Mura Dehn's extraordinary documentary on jazz dance; the jazz photography of William Claxton; painters of the New York School; the traditions of jazz autobiography; and the art of vocalese. The contributors to this volume assess the influence of extramusical sources on our knowledge of jazz and suggest that the living contexts of the music must be considered if a more sophisticated jazz scholarship is ever to evolve. Transcending the familiar patterns of jazz history and criticism, \u003ci\u003eRepresenting Jazz\u003c\/i\u003e looks at how the music actually has been heard and felt at different levels of American culture. \u003cbr\u003eWith its companion anthology, \u003ci\u003eJazz Among the Discourses\u003c\/i\u003e, this volume will enrich and transform the literature of jazz studies. Its provocative essays will interest both aficionados and potential jazz fans.\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eContributors\u003c\/i\u003e. Karen Backstein, Leland H. Chambers, Robert P.
