From Frank Sinatra to Sun Ra, from the jazz age to middle
age, with thoughts on everything in-between, Francis Davis
has been writing about American music and American culture
for more than twenty years. His essays have appeared in The
Atlantic Monthly, The New Yorker, and the Village Voice
among countless other publications from coast to coast. And
now, for the first time, here are his most important
writings of his impressive career-the quintessential Davis
on everything from why Rent set musicals back two decades,
to what Ken Burns should have filmed. And Davis's writing
is as enjoyable as the music of which he writes. The New
York Times Book Review has compared Davis's work to "a well-
blown solo."
