《Jazz Cosmopolitanism in Accra》是一部融合回憶錄、民族誌、傳記與音樂史的深度之作，從迦納首都阿克拉的在地視角，重新思考爵士樂的全球流動與文化意義。作者 Steven Feld 為聲音人類學的重要開拓者，他以長時間的田野傾聽，貼近描寫當地爵士音樂人如何在日常生活中，將非洲音樂傳統、非裔美國爵士精神與個人生命經驗交織在一起。書中聚焦多位關鍵人物，包括實驗性鼓手 Ghanaba（Guy Warren）、以 John Coltrane 為精神核心的薩克斯風演奏者 Nii Noi Nortey、深受前衛爵士鼓手啟發的傳統打擊樂大師 Nii Otoo Annan，以及以喇叭音樂為司機送行的 por por 車隊文化。透過這些故事，作者提出「acoustemology」的概念，將聲音視為理解世界的方式，也藉此挑戰以美國為中心或過度單一化的爵士史敘事。Jazz Cosmopolitanism in Accra is a richly textured exploration of jazz as an African diasporic art form, told from the perspective of musicians in Ghana’s capital city.
