New Day Jazz
Justin Desmangles
"I feel very strongly, though, that this amorphous people [Americans] are in a desperate search for something which will help them to re-establish their connection with themselves, and with one another. This can only begin to happen as the truth begins to be told. We are in the middle of an immense metamorphosis here, a metamorphosis which will, it is devoutly to be hoped for, rob us of our myths and give us our history, which will destroy our attitudes and give us back our personalities. The mass culture, in the meantime, can only reflect our chaos: and perhaps we had better remember that this chaos contains life — and a great transforming energy." ~ James Baldwin, Mass Culture and the Creative Artist, 1960
