Music studies people: has anyone written about the racialized context/subtext of Lukas Foss's practice of improvisation? e.g. "I like to present the composed and the improvised side by side (but never mixed)" (from this 1962 article: jstor.org/stable/948499?…)

of all the people who get name-dropped or referenced in the tortured poets department, why not dan bejar? the lyrical style seems so indebted to him: all the first names, one-off metaphors, unexplained specificity, purple prose...
