Condition: New.
Paperback. Condition: New. Author and radio personality Stanley Péan is a jazz scholar who takes us seamlessly and knowledgeably through the history of the music, stopping at a number of high points along the way. He gets behind the scenes with anecdotes that tell much about the misunderstandings that have surrounded the music. How could French existentialist writer Jean-Paul Sartre have mixed up Afro-Canadian songwriter Shelton Brooks with the Jewish-American belter Sophie Tucker? What is the real story behind the searing classic "Strange Fruit" made immortal by Billie Holiday, who at first balked at performing it? Who knew that an Ohio housewife named Sadie Vimmerstedt was behind the revenge song "I wanna be around to pick up the pieces when somebody breaks your heart?" And since this is jazz, there is no shortage of sad ends: Bix Beiderbecke, Chet Baker, Lee Morgan, to name a few.

Condition: NUOVO. Milano, Marco Tropea Ed. cm.14x21,5, pp.281, brossura con cop.fig.a col.con bandelle. Collana Fuorionda. In una spettrale Port-au-Prince, stremata dalla feroce dittatura di Papa Doc, una coppia di canadesi assiste alla misteriosa morte di una donna haitiana. Dalle sue braccia, i due raccolgono un neonato che portano a Montreal, allevandolo insieme alla figlia Laura. Sono passati quasi trent'anni da allora, e l'inquieto Gabriel ha rotto i legami con la famiglia adottiva per coltivare in una bohème alcolica il suo talento di trombettista jazz. Ma il ritorno nel Quebec per una tournée risveglia i fantasmi del passato. Gabriel e Laura non riescono più a contenere quella morbosa complicità, quella passione proibita che il musicista traduce nei suoi sublimi e trasgressivi assolo. Per di più, i virtuosismi di Gabriel alla tromba si tramutano in lancinanti deliri sonori, ispirati da spaventose visioni di morte. Nel frattempo, la comunità haitiana di Montreal rivive l'incubo della dittatura makute con l'arrivo in città di Mèt Minville, ex eminenza grigia del regime. Che cosa cerca il carismatico aguzzino? E quale inconfessabile segreto lega ancora Haiti al tormentato musicista? Traduz.di Ester Borgese.
