currentmusicology-5041	Higgins, Niko	Review of Daniel Fischlin and Ajay Heblin, eds. 2004. The Other Side of Nowhere: Jazz, Improvisation, and Communities in Dialogue. Middletown, CT: Wesleyan University Press; and Robert O’Meally, Brent Hayes Edwards, and Farah Jasmine Griffith, eds. 2004.	2004	12	.pdf	application/pdf	5295	273	50	Uptown Conversations and The Other Side of Nowhere continue this trajectory by moving away from jazz as a static object to be stylistically described, explained, and celebrated through the heroic and larger-than-life individual towards an understanding of jazz as a music in continual dialogue with the historical, social, political, racial, and gendered processes governing its creation.2 No article in either collection articulates these goals more clearly than George Lipsitz's essay, Songs of the Unsung: The Darby Hicks History of Jazz, which appears in Uptown Conversations. As Mangin's essay reminds us, other cultures may view jazz as just an­ other form of world music: Jazz for Senegalese becomes an international music that can be appropri­ ated, commodified, and used to express their modern voice among Francophone countries as well as a pan-Mrican imaginary that includes French West Africa, America, and Europe.	cache/currentmusicology-5041.pdf	txt/currentmusicology-5041.txt
