Paperback. Murray gives readers the redefined essence of his lifetime meditation on the blues as this musical style informs American life. Here are incisive essays on writing, music, and art that go beyond the social-science fiction of Negrohood to describe in no uncertain terms what it means to be American. To Albert Murray the blues is not about suffering but about transcendence through sheer style pinpointed in the work of such as Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Romare Bearden, Ernest Hemingway. Murray demolishes our stereotypes about art, race, and what it means to be human in an intelligent and whirlwind tour of American culture.
