Abstract

In this article, I consider how discourses of jazz authenticity register social tensions in Cleveland, Ohio. Scholars have shown that the relationship between jazz and higher education is nothing new. However, fans and musicians express conflicting impulses toward college jazz. On the one hand, college jazz presents the financial and symbolic benefits of institutional legitimacy. Many musicians are themselves college jazz graduates and teachers. On the other hand, many express an aversion grounded in the belief that real jazz happens in urban nightclubs. I argue that people mobilize authenticity to critique college jazz in order to invoke the inequality of the city’s urban past and the invisibility of its rich jazz history.
两座城市的故事(以及两种不真实的方式):《官方克利夫兰》和《另一个克利夫兰》中的大学爵士乐政治
在这篇文章中,我考虑了爵士乐真实性的话语如何反映俄亥俄州克利夫兰的社会紧张局势。学者们已经表明,爵士乐和高等教育之间的关系并不是什么新鲜事。然而,歌迷和音乐家对大学爵士乐表达了相互矛盾的冲动。一方面,大学爵士乐呈现出制度合法性带来的经济和象征性好处。许多音乐家本身就是大学爵士乐毕业生和教师。另一方面,许多人表示厌恶,因为他们认为真正的爵士乐发生在城市夜总会。我认为,人们动员真实性来批评大学爵士乐,是为了唤起这座城市过去城市的不平等和丰富爵士乐历史的不可见性。
