Drifting on a Read by Michael Jarrett

For almost a century, writers such as Ralph Ellison, Michael Ondaatje, and Ishmael Reed have expressed an affinity for jazz, hearing the music as a model for writing. Michael Jarrett examines their work and the work of others who have brought jazz into language, pushing interpretation into the realm of invention.

Michael Jarrett is Associate Professor of English at The Pennsylvania State University, York Campus. He is the author of Sound Tracks: A Musical ABC: Volumes 1–3.
