Reviews for School for Cool: The Academic Jazz Program and the Paradox of Institutionalized Creativity
"School for Cool is one of the most creative, comprehensive, epistemologically and substantively provocative, and just generally fascinating books I've read in recent years. Wilf provides a remarkably attentive and wide-reaching account of cultural production, reproduction, and transformation." (Donald Brenneis, University of California, Santa Cruz)"
