Jazz Perspectives Journal

As a refereed academic journal with an international editorial board of renowned jazz scholars, Jazz Perspectives provides a broad forum for promoting cross-disciplinary scholarly dialogue. Our mission is to stimulate the international study of jazz and its many musical and cultural communities, both past and present. The journal aims to bridge the jazz-as-music and jazz-as-culture divide, as well as to promote broader international perspectives on jazz traditions, discourses, and their legacies. We also welcome submissions from those unaffiliated with academic institutions. As a forum for historical inquiry, music analysis, and cultural studies, Jazz Perspectives is devoted to all aspects of – and all approaches to – jazz scholarship. In addition to articles, the journal includes reviews and essays on significant recent literature and new recordings and media.
