Books about music are never literally “about music”. They are about the people who compose, mould, and play music, and they are about the (social) contexts, or rather, environments, in which music is made. While these environments are physical, they are invariably also much more. Books about music are therefore books about communities, about scenes, about collaborations and solidarities, about the social conditions of a particular time… and, just as importantly, about intriguing individuals. Consequently, if we’re interested in certain musics (in our case, diverse jazz practices), we cannot just listen to them. We also have to read them.
In cooperation with Vodnikova domačija (Vodnik Homestead). The reading corner with books about jazz music was made possible by the Ljubljana UNESCO City of Literature office.
