Synopsis
This book features interviews with 22 major jazz figures, including Art Blakey, Anthony Braxton, Dave Brubeck, Bill Evans, Gil Evans, Tommy Flanagan, Dizzy Gillespie, Chico Hamilton, Lee Konitz, Charles Mingus, Clark Terry and Henry Threadgill. These musicians reflect on their early influences and personal visions, the jazz tradition and the politics of survival in a country that historically has ignored one of its indigenous art forms. These improvisers and composers represent diverse generations and philosophies and a full range of styles, from swing to bop, fusion and free jazz. They speak eloquently about their work, and candidly about the current state of music in the US. These interviews describe what the life of a jazz musician is really like. Each interview begins with a brief biographical introduction and ends with a selected discography.

"Art Blakey, Anthony Braxton, Dave Brubeck, Bill Evans, Gil Evans, Tommy Flanagan, Dizzy Gillespie, Chico Hamilton, Lee Konitz, Charles Mingus, Clark Terry, Henry Threadgill---These are just a few of the 22 major jazz figures interviewed in this revealing book. Here, musicians reflect on their early influences and personal visions, the jazz tradition, and the politics of survival in a country that has historically ignored one of its indigenous art forms. These improvisers and composers represent diverse generations and philosophies and a full range of styles, from swing to bop, fusion, and free jazz. They speak eloquently about their work, and candidly about the current state of music in America. In doing so, they emerge as natural storytellers. Through these interviews they give one a sense of what the life of a jazz musician is really like. Their rock-solid commitment to their craft is all the more remarkable in light of the neglect and bigotry with which many of them have had to contend throughout their careers. Each interview begins with a brief biographical introduction and ends with a selected discography. Musicians and non-musicians alike--anyone, in fact, who cares about American music--should read JAZZ SPOKEN HERE. It is music history of the best kind--the kind that makes one want to seek out the music." [publisher copy] "Wonderfully fresh and insightful."--Publishers Weekly. "Anyone interested in jazz will enjoy this entertaining and informative book."--Library Journal. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable. Seller Inventory # RUB2307
