Baltasar Samper, pionero de la crítica de jazz: escritos de 1930

Abstract

[eng] The musician Baltasar Samper was a prestigious critic within the Catalan Noucentisme. But unlike the majority of his Catalan modernist colleagues, he was a radical defender of a black and 'authentic' jazz as a language of modernity. The basis of this defense was set in a series of articles back in 1930 and 1931, which we present for the first time.
