Synopsis
Appearing for the first time in a single volume, this book offers the collected writings of Dan Morgenstern. Dan Morgenstern, former editor of "Down Beat", current director of the Institute of Jazz Studies at Rutgers University, and winner of six Grammy awards, is one of the most important and prolific jazz writers of the 20th century, yet until now his writings have not been collected in a single volume. This long-awaited compendium brings together all of Morgenstern's significant work, ranging from pithy liner notes to extended analyses of the role of jazz in contemporary culture. Morgenstern's poised, professional and always generous voice, and the extraordinary breadth and depth of his knowledge, unify the collection. In "Living With Jazz" Morgenstern scrutinises the careers of jazz's most iconic figures, from Duke Ellington to Dizzy Gillespie to John Coltrane to Ella Fitzgerald. An astute observer and a charismatic narrator, Morgenstern responds to these performers and their work via profiles, liner notes, record reviews and festival pieces. We learn not only about a broad spectrum of entertainers, but also about Morgenstern himself, as beloved as he is influential.
Morgenstern is both an accomplished journalist and a passionate fan of the music. The enduring brilliance of Dan Morgenstern's writing and the sheer impact of his oeuvre make "Living With Jazz" an essential addition to the body of jazz literature."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
