Richard Brody on Amiri Baraka’s life-changing jazz writing: http://nyr.kr/1eCbpLP “Above all, Baraka—who, of course, was a poet—wrote criticism like a poet; the arm’s-length didactic authority of journalistic discourse was not for him. He was a bardic theorist who gave a musical language to music, artistic language to the experience of art.” Photograph: Serge Cohen/Cosmos/Redux -- source link
