Description:In Hungary, jazz was at the forefront of heated debates sparked by the tensions between traditional musical culture and newly emerging forms of popular culture that challenged the prevailing status quo within the cultural hierarchies of different historical eras. Drawing on an extensive, four-year field research project, including ethnographic observations and 27 in-depth interviews, this book is the first to explore the hidden diasporic narrative(s) of Hungarian jazz through the system of historically formed cultural distinctions. The chapters illustrate how different concepts of authenticity and conflicting definitions of jazz have resulted in a unique hierarchical setting characterised by the fundamental opposition between mainstream (bebop) and free jazz camps. Following a historical overview that incorporates comparisons with other Central European jazz cultures, the book offers a rigorous analysis of how the transition from playing caf� house music to bebop became a significant element in the status claims of Hungarian Gipsies. By combining the innovative application of Pierre Bourdieu's cultural sociology with popular music scholarship, this work offers a forceful demonstration of the manifold connections of this particular jazz scene to global networks of cultural production, which also continue to shape it.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
