Back in the days of... «How to Listen to Jazz»
eta_verba23 сентября 2026•Видна всемBack in the days of Pythagoras, Western musicians had to choose between creating sounds and playing notes—and they opted for the latter. But African musicians never got enlightened (or is corrupted the better word?) by Pythagorean thinking. They followed the other path—creating a music that drew on infinite gradations of sound, and not just twelve notes in a scale. The musicians of the African diaspora eventually learned how to coexist with the Western schema, but not before they had forced some changes on it. The African sensibility clashed with the Western systems of music, and both were forced to give ground.
