En kärleksförklaring till jazzen, men också en fascinerande berättelse om några okuvliga människor. Bakgrunden är det lidande som genom nazismen och Förintelsen drabbade oändligt många människor – och hela den idémässiga miljö som en gång blomstrade i Europa och det kosmopolitiska Wien. I ett hus nära stillahavsstranden i San Diego sitter en gammal man, Nathan Menzel, och låter sig intervjuas av en journalist om sitt liv som pianist och författare. Hans berättelse tar sin början i Wien på 20-talet, där han med två vänner bildade The Vienna Jazz Trio. Vi följer vännerna i den socialistiska gruppen, på spelningar och i kontakten med psykoanalytikerna i Wien, en stad som sjuder av både musiktradition och diskussioner om socialism, psykoanalys och judendom. Samtidigt växer sig antisemitismen och fascismen allt starkare och kampen med den socialistiska arbetarrörelsen utspelar sig på gator och politiska möten. Författaren flätar samman sina romanfigurers öden med dokumentära historiska händelser i mellankrigstidens Wien, liksom med verkliga personer: jazzmusiker, forskare och psykoanalytiker. När katastrofen närmar sig Wien i slutet på 30-talet utvecklas historien till en alltmer grym och tragisk skildring av det mänskliga sammanbrottet. The Vienna Jazz Trio ger en bred och inträngande lektion i samtidshistoria, fylld av engagemang. Blandningen av storpolitik, jazz och psykoanalys bidrar också till oförutsägbarheten i berättarglädjen. Tomas Böhm är författare och psykoanalytiker verksam i Stockholm. Han har tidigare gett ut bl.a. fackböckerna Efter förälskelsen, Om otrohet, Ska du säga!, Inte som vi, Att ha rätt, och romanerna Fjällturen, Biggles tappar håret, Nödutgång och Adamsäpplen och huvudvärk.

A lively yet tragic novel about jazz, the dawn of psychoanalysis, and the Jewish experience, The Vienna Jazz Trio is framed by an interview with an aging Nathan Mentzel, who relates his life as a piano player and satirist. His story begins in cosmopolitan Vienna in the 1920s, where he and two friends form a jazz ensemble amid the ideological debates and growing anti-Semitism of the era, continues through the suffering and devastation of the Holocaust, and ends with a thrilling operation against two Nazis living in a luxury villa in Southern California. At times melancholy and always moving, The Vienna Jazz Trio speaks to the indomitable spirit of youth and the dignity of man.

The revenge motif appears in a number of arenas and in different cultures. We need to be mindful of its existence in order to discover how common it is. We can then learn to recognize when destructive revenge spirals are developing. By extension, we thus gain a basis for stopping these spirals successfully before they have gone too far. We can also learn what function revenge plays and has played in various contexts. A short overview of revenge as a motif in literature, film, culture, religion, and at work is therefore given as an introduction to our study of revenge.

This book brings together for the first time the works of Jewish authors writing in Swedish, who describe the special circumstances confronting Jews in the twentieth century in Sweden and Scandinavia. During the Second World War, Sweden?s small, long-established, and well-assimilated Jewish community was never subject to the open and ultimately fatal ethnic identification that most European Jews suffered. Older and middle-aged Swedish-born Jewish authors tend to think of themselves only as Swedes. Within the last few decades, however, Sweden has become an immigrant country, and a younger generation writes from a different perspective. Twenty of the twenty-two authors represented in this anthology are still very active, and many of the pieces were written in the last fifteen years. Each work chosen illustrates some aspect of Jewish identity in Sweden, either today or in the course of a century in which Sweden played a crucial, controversially neutral role in a war that had a catastrophic impact on Europe and led to the near-annihilation of the European Jews. This volume provides the complex historical framework in which these events occurred and elucidates the role played by the largest Scandinavian country within it. Contemporary Jewish Writing in Sweden brings together superb work by major writers in one of Europe's foremost national literatures and includes the first English translation of an excerpt from Peter Weiss's recently discovered 1957 Swedish novel.

The Cultural Politics of Jazz Collectives: This Is Our Music documents the emergence of collective movements in jazz and improvised music. Jazz history is most often portrayed as a site for individual expression and revolves around the celebration of iconic figures, while the networks and collaborations that enable the music to maintain and sustain its cultural status are surprisingly under-investigated. This collection explores the history of musician-led collectives and the ways in which they offer a powerful counter-model for rethinking jazz practices in the post-war period. It includes studies of groups including the New York Musicians Organization, Sweden’s Ett minne för livet, Wonderbrass from South Wales, the contemporary Dutch jazz-hip hop scene, and Austria‘s JazzWerkstatt. With an international list of contributors and examples from Europe and the United States, these twelve essays and case studies examine issues of shared aesthetic vision, socioeconomic and political factors, local education, and cultural values among improvising musicians.

The Jazz Republic examines jazz music and the jazz artists who shaped Germany’s exposure to this African American art form from 1919 through 1933. Jonathan O. Wipplinger explores the history of jazz in Germany as well as the roles that music, race (especially Blackness), and America played in German culture and follows the debate over jazz through the fourteen years of Germany’s first democracy. He explores visiting jazz musicians including the African American Sam Wooding and the white American Paul Whiteman and how their performances were received by German critics and artists. The Jazz Republic also engages with the meaning of jazz in debates over changing gender norms and jazz’s status between paradigms of high and low culture. By looking at German translations of Langston Hughes’s poetry, as well as Theodor W. Adorno’s controversial rejection of jazz in light of racial persecution, Wipplinger examines how jazz came to be part of German cultural production more broadly in both the US and Germany, in the early 1930s. Using a wide array of sources from newspapers, modernist and popular journals, as well as items from the music press, this work intervenes in the debate over the German encounter with jazz by arguing that the music was no mere “symbol” of Weimar’s modernism and modernity. Rather than reflecting intra-German and/or European debates, it suggests that jazz and its practitioners, African American, white American, Afro-European, German and otherwise, shaped Weimar culture in a central way.
