5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the great books on bebop,
By
This review is from: The Library Chronicle of the University of Texas at Austin: Volume 24, Numbers 1/2 (Paperback)
This is not really a book, but a collection of essays and articles from various contributors. The book centers around the Ross Russell Collection in the University of Texas. Thus a large part of the book deals with Ross Russell and of course Charlie Parker. These parts are highly in depth and well written. However, the other parts of the book talk in depth about several other facets of bebop. One of my favorite sections is the excellent article on why bebop never flourished as Swing jazz did. Overall, this is a great book with details and insights offered in few other books. I found this gem of a book deep within my library, and its sad that such a great book is not out in print anymore. |
