How bass technology reshaped jazz
Peter Dowdall examines the jazz bass as more than a supporting instrument, placing technological mediation at the center of changes in jazz language and style. The study also considers how these developments altered creative hierarchies within jazz, foregrounding contributions that have often received less attention. With its focus on the relationship between an instrument, its technologies, and evolving musical practice, the book offers a concentrated perspective on the forces shaping jazz development.
