Sumario:New Musical Figurations exemplifies a dramatically new way of configuring jazz music and history. By relating biography to the cultural and musical contours of contemporary American life, Ronald M. Radano observes jazz practice as part of the complex interweaving of postmodern culturea culture that has eroded conventional categories defining jazz and the jazz musician.

Born in 1945, Braxton is not only a virtuoso jazz saxophonist but an innovative theoret.
