- This monograph (176pp) is the first book-length study of jazz on both film and television. Through extensive archival research and close textual analysis, it provides an original account of jazz in conversation with recording and broadcast technologies. It overturns previous jazz histories which have generalised the media of film and television as ‘transparent’ with a particular focus on the creative process. The first chapter’s research prompted an exhibition at the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery (New Zealand) between 2017 and 2018. The third chapter’s research was used to generate the programme pitch for BBC Four’s award-winning Jazz 625: For One Night Only.
