Description
Rarely in the history of musical practice in Argentina has there been such an overwhelming influx of young musicians, capable of combining technical rigor with artistic imagination, as in Argentine jazz in the first two decades of the 21st century. And it is this advanced generation that parades here, with a complete panorama of names and trends that seems to speak for itself; starting from the end of the nineties to house a fascinating plurality of voices, styles and tendencies. But beyond a simple chronological evolution, this book also shows the multiple facets of the generational replacement of jazz in Argentina, immersed in the changing political and social context that frames and promotes it. The original compositions, the new authors, their interaction with tango and rock, independent labels, urban spaces, the growing female presence, streaming, and modern broadcasting and listening habits. Substantial parts of a corpus in constant evolution and creativity, which for the first time come together in a text that crosses them and analyzes them with an integrating gaze.
