About this product
Product Information
A rare document of the 1960s Black Arts Movement featuring Albert Ayler, Amiri Baraka, Milford Graves, Sun Ra, Cecil Taylor and many more, The Cricket fostered critical and political dialogue for Black musicians and writers Edited by poets and writers Amiri Baraka, A.B. Spellman and Larry Neal between 1968 and 1969, and published by Baraka's New Jersey-based JIHAD productions around the time of the Newark Riots, this experimental music magazine ran poetry, position papers and gossip alongside concert and record reviews and essays on music and politics. Over four mimeographed issues, The Cricket laid out an anticommercial ideology and took aim at the conservative jazz press, providing a space for critics, poets and journalists (including Stanley Crouch, Haki Madhubuti, Ishmael Reed, Sonia Sanchez and Keorapetse Kgositsile) and musicians (including Cecil Taylor, Milford Graves, Sun Ra, Mtume, Albert Ayler and Black Unity Trio) to devise new styles of music writing. The publication emerged from the heart of a political movement--"a proto-ideology, akin to but younger than the Garveyite movement and the separatism of Elijah Mohammed," as Spellman writes in the book's preface--and aimed to reunite advanced art with its community, "to provide Black Music with a powerful historical and critical tool" and to enable avant-garde Black musicians and writers "to finally make a way for themselves." This publication gathers all issues of the magazine with an introduction by poet and scholar David Grundy. Contributors include : A.B. Spellman, Imamu Baraka (LeRoi Jones), Larry Neal, Cecil Taylor, Milford Graves, Sun Ra, Ben Caldwell, Clyde Halisi, Don L. Lee (Haki R. Madhubuti), Duncan Barber, Gaston Neal, Hilary Broadus, James Stewart, Norman Jordan, Roger Riggins, Ronnie Gross, Stanley Crouch, Albert Ayler, Askia Muhammed Toure, Donald Stone, E. Hill, Haasan Oqwiendha Fum al Hut, Ibn Pori 'det, Ishmael Reed, Joe Goncalves, Larry A. Miller (Katibu), Sonia Sanchez, Willie Kgositsile, Billy (Fundi) Abernathy, Dan Dawson and Black Unity Trio.

Reviews
The physical creation and circulation of a publication like this is crucial--anyone can sit with, take hold of, and pass it along. Blank Forms is to be commended for bringing a crucial archive of materials back into print., The magazine was charged with energy, featuring imaginative writing about jazz that mirrored the adventurous spirit of the music, all in a bracing and experimental style., Gathering radical musicians and writers in a rapid-fire dialogue stretching from coast to coast, this DIY publication set itself the sizable task of understanding music as the fulcrum of a black nation., It's one of those rare historical volumes that is not only written about its time, but seems to inhabit its guiding spirit, and perpetuate it., There have long been wars between the perceived mainstream and the avant-garde...and more than enough suggestions that these conflicts, like most trends, are minor and generated more by the writers than those written about. Except when they were not, and for The Cricket, a magazine published briefly between 1968 and 1969, these conflicts were fully serious.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
