The authors introduce a musical sensibility into their respective writings expanding the literary palette the effects of which emphasize the impotence of an exclusive deterministic and category-bound history and disrupting a linear strategy of historical narrative. Significantly this musical sensibility is a jazz-based one and produces a jazz aesthetic that saturates Reed’s and Morrison’s works. (1) Although often widely varied in approach this large body of scholarship has established a recognizable jazz discourse in literary analysis through which the uses and implications of these links can be explored. The emerging prevalence of this interdisciplinary discourse in critical readings of African American literature creates a contextual harmony through which the multifaceted literary roles of jazz are revealed (roles that as in Morrison’s Paradise are not always immediately obvious or explicated). Paradise and Mumbo Jumbo both seek constructive ways to incorporate the history of African American experience into an aesthetic that moves beyond the traditional notion of an historical narrative. Recognizing the risks of stasis and even decomposition of the narrow retrospective gaze (Morrison’s description of Ruby in Paradise offers one example) Morrison and Reed use a jazz aesthetic as a way of reconciling the violent past with the new demands of the present ultimately envisioning a future that rewrites racial and ethnic ideologies.
