The Imperfect Art: Reflections on Jazz and Modern CultureTaking a wide ranging approach rare in jazz criticism, Ted Gioia's brilliant volume draws upon fields as disparate as literary criticism, art history, sociology, and aesthetic philosophy in order to place jazz within the turbulent cultural environment of the twentieth century. He argues that because improvisation the essence of jazz must often fail under the pressure of on the spot creativity, we should view jazz as an "imperfect art" and base our

Taking a wide-ranging approach rare in jazz criticism, Ted Gioia's brilliant volume draws upon fields as disparate as literary criticism, art history, sociology, and aesthetic philosophy in order to place jazz within the turbulent cultural environment of the twentieth century. He argues that because improvisation--the essence of jazz--must often fail under the pressure of on-the-spot creativity, we should view jazz as an "imperfect art" and base our judgments of it on an "aesthetics of imperfection."

Incorporating the thought of such seminal thinkers as Walter Benjamin, Jos

Decent blanket for the price
Size: Throw (50"W x 60"L), Color: Pink, Size: Throw (50"W x 60"L), Color: Pink
This blanket is soft and just the right size for my lash clients to cover themselves while getting services done. I will say a con is that the blanket sheds a little. It’s not enough to make me return it, I just vacuum the strands up. I really do like this blanket overall since it was affordable, warm and a good shade of pink.
