It is true that I will not touch a jazz standard, however, is a musical genre that interests me more. Musically it is a style ultra-rich, much richer is exploratory than is most of the music. Jazz is also a universe of claims, exploration and release music as human.
In my musical past, my life is mostly made around the sphere independent hardcore punk, the funds cellar, one which saw his musical life alone, that self-manages and rebels, which s' expresses and rages. Evidenced by my former label activity , distributor, organizer of concerts and the creation of the website Shoot Me Again . In jazz I found something similar, sometimes more sedate, sometimes more free, more often subtle and necessarily different from what I knew. Nevertheless, the beb-bop, hard bop and free jazz are creative currents, innovative and liberating as it was not found in other music before. Although currently some gentrified part of jazz, is repeated, the same jazz was learned in high school music in clubs rather than obscure, the style remains a bubble of music that has not finished interested .
Reading this little book, I was finally able to put labels on music names, from swing to free-jazz, bebop and big band. It Hits for almost every taste. Presented in an essentially historical, the book provides us with a beautiful and changing currents, the remaining short while letting a real passion for this music, the author gives us really want to dig a little more kind. Especially John Coltrane it seems to be on an equal pedestal. Besides the "My favorite things" of Coltrane is a beautiful song I think ... As "Kind of Blue" of Miles Davis ... Well let's stop there.
short, it is with pleasure that I will go through the discography left by the author and I will consult my notes to find me some other artists of the genre.
A very nice little book. Why not offer a good jazz album?
