Race And Jazz (Part Ii)

Just who owns jazz? Does it come from an African source? Or is it the result of a confluence of cultures in this country? Saxophonist Archie Shepp believes that jazz belongs to black people, culturally, and that it should be theirs financially too. More from reporter Deal Olsher, on jazz business and jazz history.
