Book Reviews of Jazz
Book Review: Always happy to read a Book about Jazz...But....
Summary: 2 Stars
I was excited when I saw the title of the book "Jazz"....
Upon reading I was disappointed in that it covered all the same territories that many other books about Jazz have covered...
Reading some of the reviews here I have to agree with others when they stated the omissions of very important figures though lesser known in the main stream. Since the names Barry Miles and Terry Silverlight were brought up I will also use them as a prime example of two pioneers of the Jazz/fusion movement who should absolutely be included! We know of Chick Corea , John McLaughlin , Tony Williams & Miles but it would be very refreshing to read a more in depth view of this genre and the lesser known names but equally as talented musicians who helped make Jazz and all its subcategories worth listening to and reading about!
