Interpreting Its History from Africa to the United States
Bold and original, The Power of Black Music offers a new way of listening to the        music of black America, and appreciating its profound contribution to all American        music. Striving to break down the barriers that remain between high art and low art,        it brilliantly illuminates the centuries-old linkage between the music, myths, and        rituals of Africa and the continuing evolution and enduring vitality of        African-American music. Inspired by the pioneering work of Sterling Stuckey and        Henry Louis Gates, Jr., author Samuel A. Floyd, Jr. advocates a new critical        approach grounded in the forms and traditions of the music itself. He accompanies        readers on a fascinating journey from the original rings of dance, drum, and song        shared by people across Africa, through the ring shout's powerful merging of music        and dance in the slave culture, to the funeral parade practices of the early new        Orleans jazzmen, the bluesmen in the twenties, the beboppers in the forties, and the        free jazz, rock, Motown, and concert hall composers of the sixties and beyond.In The        Power of Black Music , Floyd clearly shows that black folk culture remains a driving        force in the black music of America, a force with the power to enrich cultures the        world over.
