Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jazz Changes is the late Martin Williams's third and perhaps best collection of jazz portraits, interviews, narrative accounts of recording sessions, rehearsals, and performances, important liner notes, and far reaching discussions of musicians and their music. The collection includes thirty years of Williams's finest pieces taking readers on an engaging tour of the changing jazz world.

Williams also offers parodies of how jazz critics in 1965 might have assessed the Beatles, and reflections on the Ellington era. He concludes with an elegant plea for critics to pay attention to jazz history, always exhibiting his keen mind and gifted pen.
Download or read book Jazz Icons written by Tony Whyton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-01-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, jazz history is dominated by iconic figures who have taken on an almost God-like status. From Satchmo to Duke, Bird to Trane, these legendary jazzmen form the backbone of the jazz tradition. Jazz icons not only provide musicians and audiences with figureheads to revere but have also come to stand for a number of values and beliefs that shape our view of the music itself. Jazz Icons explores the growing significance of icons in jazz and discusses the reasons why the music's history is increasingly dependent on the legacies of 'great men'. Using a series of individual case studies, Whyton examines the influence of jazz icons through different forms of historical mediation, including the recording, language, image and myth. The book encourages readers to take a fresh look at their relationship with iconic figures of the past and challenges many of the dominant narratives in jazz today.

Download or read book Jackie Jazz written by John Ennis and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2024-04-05 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “It’s not what you’re going to do with your life, but what you’re going to do in your life that matters.” From its complex harmony and syncopated beats to its rhythm, heart and soul, for Jackie Cavanagh, jazz has become a part of his very core. Much like jazz, the charismatic Jackie lives in the present, goes with the flow, improvising at times, and always focuses on what makes him happy even when facing adversity—much to the dismay of his older brother. A successful lawyer, Marty wonders how Jackie will ever succeed in life without going after big goals and achieving wealth and status. To him, the easygoing and good-natured Jackie spends too much time with his hobbies—listening to jazz records, making mixtapes for friends, and volunteering for the local football team—and not enough time working towards a better career. But what Marty fails to see in Jackie is the answer to the question that haunts him every day: what am I really living for? Set in Edmonton, from post-World War II to the 1990s, Jackie Jazz follows the life of one man whose resilience, love of life, and positivity not only infect all those around him, but make him as legendary as the musicians he loves.
