Scott De Veaux was born on November 11, 1954 in Missouri.
Music professor Scott Knowles de Veaux’s enthusiasm for jazz is evident in his writings, particularly in The Birth of Bebop: A Social and Musical History. In this work, de Veaux focuses on the demise of the Big Bands and the rise of Bebop, a rhythmically and harmonically sophisticated small-group style, and discusses the contributions of such black artists as Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, and Billy Eckstine.
Among his articles are "This is What I Do", "Multiphrenia: A New Approach to Charlie Parker", "Struggling with 'Jazz,", "'Nice Work if You Can Get It': Thelonious Monk and Popular Song", "What Did We Do to Be So Black and Blue?", "Black, Brown and Beige and the Critics", "Constructing the Jazz Tradition," and "The Emergence of the Jazz Concert, 1935-1945".
Nowadays DeVeaux is an Associate Professor of Musicology at the University of Virginia, where he has been since 1974. From 2001 to 2002 Scott worked as a visiting professor at the University of Odense. He is also an editor of the Series Readers in American Music at Oxford University Press.
