Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
It'S Nineteen Fiftysomething, In A Dark, Cramped, Smokefilled Room. Everyone'S Wearing Black. And Onstage A Tenor Is Blowing His Heart Out, A Searching, Jagged Saxophone Journey Played Out Against A Moody, Walking Bass And The Swish Of A Drummer'S Brushes. To A Great Many Listenersfrom African American Aficionados Of The Period To A Whole New Group Of Fans Todaythis Is The Very Embodiment Of Jazz. It Is Also Quintessential Hard Bop. In This, The First Thorough Study Of The Subject, Jazz Expert And Enthusiast David H. Rosenthal Vividly Examines The Roots, Traditions, Explorations And Permutations, Personalities And Recordings Of A Climactic Period In Jazz History.Beginning With Hard Bop'S Origins As An Amalgam Of Bebop And R&B, Rosenthal Narrates The Growth Of A Movement That Embraced The Heavy Beat And Bluesy Phrasing Of Such Popular Artists As Horace Silver And Cannonball Adderley; The Stark, Astringent, Tormented Music Of Saxophonists Jackie Mclean And Tina Brooks; The Gentler, More Lyrical Contributions Of Trumpeter Art Farmer, Pianists Hank Jones And Tommy Flanagan, Composers Benny Golson And Gigi Gryce; And Such Consciously Experimental And Truly Oneofakind Players And Composers As Andrew Hill, Sonny Rollins, John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, And Charles Mingus. Hard Bop Welcomed All Influenceswhether Gospel, The Blues, Latin Rhythms, Or Debussy And Ravelinto Its Astonishingly Creative, Hardswinging Orbit. Although Its Emphasis On Expression And Downright Badness Over Technical Virtuosity Was Unappreciated By Critics, Hard Bop Was The Music Of Black Neighborhoods And The Last Jazz Movement To Attract The Most Talented Young Black Musicians.Fortunately, Records Were There To Catch It All. The Years Between 1955 And 1965 Are Unrivaled In Jazz History For The Number Of Milestones On Vinyl. Miles Davis'S Kind Of Blue, Charles Mingus'S Mingus Ah Um, Thelonious Monk'S Brilliant Corners, Horace Silver'S Further Explorationsrosenthal Gives A Perceptive Cutbycut Analysis Of These And Other Jazz Masterpieces, Supplying An Essential Discography As Well. For Knowledgeable Jazzlovers And Novices Alike, Hard Bop Is A Lively, Multidimensional, Muchneeded Examination Of The Artists, The Milieus, And Above All The Sounds Of One Of America'S Great Musical Epochs.
