"Jazz is an intensified feeling of nonchalance." ~ Frangoise Sagan
The jazz, that 'elixir of American life', the one pure American art form, that is presented on this CD will confirm Francoise Sagan's view. There's some supremely nonchalant playing, but you will also hear jazz that's intense and smooth, hot and cool, fast and slow; there's great singing, and there's also passion and soul. In fact all kinds of jazz are here. William Gottlieb's brilliant photography brings to life the post-war world of smoky, dimly-lit New York City clubs where they played every known form of jazz. His fabulous images are complemented by the music of the people whose pictures he took; reading about the lives and careers of these jazz greats is best done against the music they created. You will discover some of the greatest music on JAZZ - THE GOLDEN ERA. 1 WEST END BLUES Louis Armstrong 1928 2 TWINKLIN Mary Lou Williams with Andy Kirk & His Clouds of Joy 1938 3 TAKE THE'A'TRAIN Duke Ellington 1941 4 BODY AND SOUL Coleman Hawkins 1940 5 ONE O'CLOCK JUMP Count Basie 1937 6 I'LL BE SEEING YOU Frank Sinatra with Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra 1940 7 LET ME OFF UPTOWN Gene Krupa 1941 8 ARTISTRY IN RHYTHM Stan Kenton 1944 9 SKYLINER Charlie Barnet 1945 10 LOVERMAN Billie Holiday 1945 11 ITS ONLY A PAPER MOON Ella Fitzgerald & The Delta Rhythm Boys 1945 12 STRAIGHT NO CHASER Thelonious Monk 1951 13 ROUTE 66 Nat King Cole 1946 14 RICH-UALFIRE DANCE Buddy Rieh 1946 15 SALT PEANUTS Dizzy Gillespie 1945 16 MISTY Erroll Garner 1954 17 COOL BLUES Charlie Parker 1947 18 FLYIN' HOME Lional Hampton Orchestra featuring Illinois Jacquet 1942 19 YOU'D BESO NICE TO COME HOME TO Art Pepper 1957 20 LITTLE WILLIE LEAPS Miles Davis 1947 Rezension
Dieser bibliophil aufgemachte, groß-volumige Text- und Bildband erzählt die Geschichte der goldenen Jazz-Ära bis in die 50er Jahre anhand von Kurzbiographien folgender Musiker: Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Mary Lou Williams, Duke Ellington, Coleman Hawkins, Count Basie, Tommy Dorsey & Frank Sinatra, Gene Krupa, Stan Kenton, Charlie Barnet, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Thelonious Monk, Nat King Cole, Buddy Rich, Dizzy Gillespie, Erroll Garner, Charlie Parker, Illinois Jacquet und Art Pepper. Die Texte sind original-sprachlich englisch abgedruckt, die Bildreproduktionen sind hervorragend und z.T. ganzseitig, sie zeigen die Musiker on stage sowie Platten-Cover oder Konzert-Plakate. 20 Jazz-Titel (vgl. Inhaltsverzeichnis) auf der beiliegenden CD ergänzen Texte und Bilder auf famose Weise! - P.S.: In ähnlicher Aufmachung liegt aus der Edition Olms auch ein Band zum Blues vor.
