Publisher's Synopsis
When Wax Poetics debuted in 2001, many magazines were covering the artists of the day, but coverage of the classical material was noticeably lacking. This second volume continues in the magazine's tradition of bridging the gap - from Jazz pioneers to Eugene McDaniels, Sun Ra and Joe Zawinul to influential hip-hop artists like DJ Premier and the Beastie Boys. By presenting a diverse array of puzzle pieces, this collection gives readers the opportunity to make connections for themselves.
