N2  - "Dreams in Double Time examines how bebop, a musical genre developed by Black experimentalists in the 1940s, was especially generative for nonwhite listeners in the years following World War II. To construct this cultural history of jazz, Jonathan Leal links three (audio)biographical narratives: James T. Araki, a Nisei multi-instrumentalist and scholar credited with helping introduce bebop to Japan during the Allied Occupation; Raúl R. Salinas, a Mexican American poet, jazz critic, and activist working against the American criminal justice system who helped document East Austin's rich music histories; and Harold Wing, an Afro-Chinese American drummer, pianist, and songwriter who performed with bebop pioneers before eventually working as a public servant in Newark's City Hall in response to the uprisings of the late sixties. The book begins with a cultural history of the emergence of bebop in Harlem and then dedicates a chapter to each of these figures, contextualizing their stories and building connections between their stories. Grounded in musical practice, relational study, and personal narrative, Dreams in Double Time offers a powerful and poetic cultural history of communal creativities in the postwar years"--
