"Despite the fact that most of jazz's major innovators and performers have been African
American, the overwhelming majority of jazz journalists, critics, and authors have
been and continue to be white men. No major mainstream jazz publication has ever had
a Black editor or publisher. Ain't But a Few of Us presents over two dozen candid
dialogues with Black jazz critics and journalists ranging from Greg Tate, Farah Jasmine
Griffin, and Robin D. G. Kelly to Tammy Kernodle, Ron Welburn, and John Murph. They
discuss the obstacles to access for Black jazz journalists, outline how they contend
with the world of jazz writing dominated by white men, and point out that these racial
disparities are not confined to jazz and hamper their efforts at writing about other
music genres as well. Ain't But a Few of Us also includes an anthology section, which
reprints classic essays and articles from Black writers and musicians like LeRoi Jones,
Archie Shepp, A.B. Spellman, Herbie Nichols, Greg Tate, and others. Contributors.
