  1. Jazz fiction : a history and comprehensive reader's guide

    Rife, David, 1937-
    Lanham, Md. : Scarecrow Press, 2008.

    Jazz Fiction traces the history of jazz stories and novels from the beginning to the present and provides discussions of several persistent topics and genres within this history. Most centrally, it offers nearly 700 annotations of individual works of jazz fiction.

  2. The jazz fiction anthology

    Bloomington : Indiana University Press, 2009.

    A gathering of the best jazz fiction from the 1920s to the present, this anthology includes 20th-century fiction by Eudora Welty, James Baldwin, Richard Yates, and others, plus important recent work from writers such as Yusef Komunyakaa, Xu Xi, and Amiri Baraka. Together these artists demonstrate the strong influence of jazz on fiction. That influence can be felt in prose styles shaped by jazz - freewheeling, dramatic, conversational, improvisatory; in stories of players and listeners searching for what lies beyond the music's aesthetic power; and in the ambience of the jazz performance as captured by the written word. What sounds throughout these stories is the universal voice of humanity that is the essence of the music.
