A Bibliography of Change Magazine

Michael Fitzgerald

Introduction

Change magazine was a project of activist John Sinclair. Only two issues were published. The second issue was delayed due to Sinclair's imprisonment for drug possession. His wife Magdalene (aka Leni) assisted with the production. The contents include poems, essays, current events updates, and reviews of concerts and recordings. Notable are the contributions of professional musicians such as Archie Shepp, Andrew Hill, Charles Moore, Stanley Cowell, Marion Brown, and Joseph Jarman. Contributors came from around the United States and abroad and some would have long careers as jazz writers, including Tam Fiofori, John Litweiler, Stuart Broomer, Ron Welburn, and Jerry Figi.
