Jazz Cosmopolitanism in Accra: Five Musical Years in Ghana

Looks at the vernacular cosmopolitanism of a group of jazz players in Ghana, who have traveled widely, played with American jazz greats, and blended Coltrane with local instruments and philosophy. This book describes their cosmopolitan outlook as an accoustemology, a way of knowing the world through sound.
