"If strong intellectual opponents (like Ralph Ellison and Amiri Baraka) were peppering me with questions about the state of jazz music, these would be some of the answers." According to Fulbright Professor and Jazz Education Hall of Famer Tom Smith, jazz music's intellectual properties are the sole reason it's unpopular. When art (especially music) requires people to think, it's denied a place within constructs where orthodoxy is a mechanism for control. The great falsehood about jazz is that it's direction is natural, while arguing that all music is susceptible to corporate manipulation and any number of underlying factors, linked to present societal concerns we all face. Comprised of forty-six essays, and written in an opinionated tone that is self-deprecating, poignant, auto-biographical, and occasionally funny, Smith eviscerates traditional cathedrals of jazz, from know-it-all sociologists to overreaching critics, righteous aficionados, crooked bookers/ performers, dishonest historians, myopic educators, the community of wayward musicians he calls "jazz sheeple," UNESCO's International Jazz Day, and his favored nemesis, Jazz at Lincoln Center, whose contributions (in his estimation) have hurt more than helped. Drawing from a career spanning nearly four decades as a world-class trombonist, bandleader, researcher/ educator, and builder of jazz programs in several countries, Smith offers insights from places few have traveled, nor would ever want to go, while serving as enthusiastic cheerleader for a new jazz he insists will be created by subsequent generations of young people. "Stealth Jazz, Behind the Curtain" is likely to draw an equal amount of praise and repudiation, which according to Miles Davis, is exactly where one wishes to be. * * * Tom Smith is a Downbeat Jazz Education Hall of Fame inductee, an IAJE Ambassador recipient, a six-time Senior Fulbright Professor (Romania), and a Fulbright Specialist (South Africa, Serbia). In 2003, he was awarded the Romanian Radio Prize, co-founded Romania's first music camp/school for jazz, and performed on three of that country's officially designated One Hundred Essential Recordings. In 2010, Tom relocated to China, where he developed a music strategy for teaching English to Mandarin speakers, and in 2011 was hired as Professor of Jazz/American Music Studies at Ningbo University, the first American music professor in Mainland China. He then subsequently wrote that country's curriculum for jazz/popular music education, and in 2013, was awarded the Camellia Prize for significant cultural/entreprenurial contributions. Tom has founded over fifty jazz ensembles on four continents, and is an active performer worldwide, having played trombone, conducted/recorded for scores of iconic musicians. A Brubeck Grant recipient, Tom's publications have been featured on National Public Radio (US), Discovery Channel, and Rutgers Roundtable. He has also contributed to American National Biography, Teaching Music Through Performance in Jazz, and Bakers Dictionary. He is currently a Ph.D researcher at the University of Adelaide.
