Book Reviews of Hear Me Talkin' to Ya: The Story of Jazz As Told by the Men Who Made It
Book Review: "The Story of Jazz as Told by the Men Who Made It"
Summary: 5 Stars
The subtitle of the book, above, tells what it's all about. Open to any page and read what the people who made the music have to say about what they did. Fascinating. Find out more about who was behind the music, where it came from, who started it, where it went, and who took it there. Musicians talk about what they did, what they thought of one another, about how groups got together, how they developed as they did. All of this provides one not only with a better understanding of the musicians and their music, but also with a greater appreciation of what they produced: the music itself. This book is a must for every jazz fan. For more factual information about the musicians, see also "Jazz: the Rough Guide"; "The Penguin Encyclopedia of Popular Music"; "Jazz", Nat Hentoff & Albert McCarthy, editors; "Guide to Jazz", by Hugues Panassie & Madeleine Gauter; "The History of Jazz", by Ted Gioia, and just for fun, "Jazz Anecdotes".
