Scope/Description:

Jazz Research Journal explores a range of cultural and critical views on jazz. The journal celebrates the diversity of approaches found in jazz scholarship and provides a forum for interaction and the crossfertilisation of ideas. It is a development and extension of The Source Challenging Jazz Criticism founded in 2004 at the Leeds College of Music.The journal aims to represent a range of disciplinary perspectives on jazz from musicology to film studies sociology to cultural studies and offers a platform for new thinking on jazz. In this respect the editors particularly welcome articles that challenge traditional approaches to jazz and encourage writings that engage with jazz as a discursive practice.Jazz Research Journal publishes original and innovative research that either extends the boundaries of jazz scholarship or explores themes which are central to a critical understanding of the music including the politics of race and gender the shifting cultural representation of jazz and the complexity of canon formation and dissolution.In addition to articles the journal features a reviews section that publishes critical articles on a variety of media including recordings film books educational products and multimedia publications.
