Challenging prevailing narratives of race, Albert Murray emphasizes the significance of black art, particularly jazz and blues, as foundational to American culture. He critiques the focus on victimhood, instead celebrating the "blues-hero tradition" that embodies resilience and creativity. This collection brings together his influential essays from The Omni-Americans, The Blue Devils of Nada, and From the Briarpatch File, alongside his memoir, lectures, and previously uncollected works, offering a comprehensive view of his contributions to cultural criticism and jazz.
