Darren Mueller

Darren Mueller (Mus’05) has just published his book At the Vanguard of Vinyl: A Cultural History of the Long-Playing Record in Jazz. Mueller’s work examines how musicians such as Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington and Charles Mingus leveraged the jazz industry’s adoption of the long-playing record (LP) to redefine the uneven power relations of the heavily segregated music business.
