Zer0 Books is proud to present the release of 'Ugly Beauty: Jazz in the 21st Century', a book by Phil Freeman. What does jazz “mean” 20 years into the 21st century? Has streaming culture rendered music literally meaningless, thanks to the removal of all context beyond the playlist? Are there any traditions left to explore? Has the destruction of the apprenticeship model (young musicians learning from their elders) changed the music irrevocably? Are any sounds off limits? How far out can you go and still call it “jazz”? Or should the term be retired? These questions, and many more, are answered in Ugly Beauty, as Phil Freeman digs through his own experiences and conversations with present-day players. Jazz has never seemed as vital as it does right now, and has a genuine role to play in 21st-century culture, particularly in the US and the UK. Stewart Smith (interviewer) is a music writer and academic with a particular interest in jazz and improvised music. A regular contributor to The Wire, Bandcamp Daily, The Quietus and Tribune, he also presents Jazz Police and Radical Scotland on Repeater Radio. He recently curated Jazz At The Third Eye, an archival project exploring the legacy of Glasgow’s pioneering multi-arts space.

The question “What would happen if every worker in America won a million dollars?” sets up a rather absurd thought experiment, but it’s one that gets to the heart of what Marx and Engels really meant when they claimed that the material basis of society determined, in the last analysis, what happens in society.
