New York: Oxford University Press, 1990. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover with dust jacket. ISBN: 019505587X. Fine hardcover, no inscriptions or marks with a fine unclipped dust jacket. In the 1950s, Paul Knopf, a now forgotten pianist, coined the word "outcat" to describe himself as "an outcast and a far-out cat combined." In using a word originally meant to convey jubilant defiance, "Davis recognizes its undertones of alienation and cultural exile. Some of his subjects are outcats because of their politics, drug problems, or musical iconoclasm. But Davis defines all jazz performers--"including the most famous, influential, and housebroken"--as outcats, by virtue of the scant recognition given them by contemporary society.
