It provides evidence that African American jazz musicians fared better in the diaspora than they did in America where jazz and its inventors were born. Written by an anthropologist who is also a jazz musician, it provides a treatment of the cultural, historical, artistic, innovative, and aesthetic aspects of the migration of African American jazz musicians to the diaspora.
