Thus i will note that Steve Lacy is white and will not note
In my texts on rock music, the reader can safely assume that the musicians
are white unless otherwise specified. In this book on jazz music, the reader
can safely assume that the musicians are black unless otherwise specified.
Thus i will note that Steve Lacy is white and will not note
that Miles Davis is black the same way that
rock biographers emphasize that Jimi Hendrix was black but do not emphasize
that Bob Dylan was white.
