| Abstrakt: |
This article experiments ways of registering the ordinary experiences of place among early New Orleans musicians as they depart the city in search of new opportunities and return home, sometimes permanently, sometimes only briefly. The narrative moves between different times, places, and particular journeys, featuring a range of voices: some local, some not; some well-known, while others have been forgotten. The aim is to address issues of how we tell our histories of jazz and how we think about the place of the music within people's everyday experiences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
