Book Description
Excerpt from The Daniel Jazz: And Other Poems The Daniel Jazz Let the leader train the audience to roar like lions, and to join in the refrain "Go chain the lions down," before he begins to lead them in this jazz. Darius the Mede was a king and a wonder. His eye was proud, and his voice was thunder. He kept bad lions in a monstrous den. He fed up the lions on Christian men. Daniel was the chief hired man of the land. He stirred up the jazz in the palace band. He whitewashed the cellar. He shovelled in the coal. And Daniel kept a-praying: - "Lord save my soul." Daniel kept a-praying "Lord save my soul." Daniel kept a-praying "Lord save my soul." Daniel was the butler, swagger and swell. He ran up stairs. He answered the bell.

Author: Jean-Philippe MarcouxPublisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 0739166743
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
This study is about how four representative African American poets in the 1960s, Langston Hughes, Umbra’s David Henderson, and the Black Arts Movement’s Sonia Sanchez, and Amiri Baraka engage, in the tradition of African griots, in poetic dialogues with aesthetics, music, politics, and Black History, and in so doing narrate, using jazz as meta-language, genealogies, etymologies, cultural legacies, and Black (hi)stories. In intersecting and complementary ways, Hughes, Henderson, Sanchez, and Baraka fashioned their griotism from theorizations of artistry as political engagement, and, in turn, formulated a Black aesthetic based on jazz performativity –a series of jazz-infused iterations that form a complex pattern of literary, musical, historical, and political moments in constant cross-fertilizing dialogues with one another. This form of poetic call-and-response is essential for it allows the possibility of intergenerational dialogues between poets and musicians as well as dialogical potential between song and politics, between Africa and Black America, within the poems. More importantly, these jazz dialogisms underline the construction of the Black Aesthetic as conceptualized respectively by the griotism of Hughes, of Henderson, and of Sanchez and Baraka.
