Bebop – The Essential Listening Companion
Book (Item 393786) Miller Freeman, 2000 — Condition: New Copy
An essential overview of the key players in Bebop – divided up to focus on key musicians from the 40s onward, with specific reviews of their best recordings under each artist! Scott Yanow's definitely the man for such a book – given his writing on jazz for AMG and many other publications – and he's done a good job of selecting important players, and matching them with nearly 1600 recordings that are listed in the book. The book features a few chapters on bop definitions and history, then rolls into chapters on individual instrumentalists – listed by trumpeters, saxophonists, pianists, etc. 391 pages, softcover. © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
