What is jazz? What is gained-and what is lost-when various communities close ranks around a particular definition of this quintessentially American music?

David Ake, Charles Hiroshi Garrett, and Daniel Goldmark have assembled a stellar group of writers to look beyond the canon of acknowledged jazz greats and address some of the big questions facing jazz today. More than just
