ISBN: 9780306806841 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. From 1975 to 1981 the jazz giant Miles Davis temporarily retired from music.

Blue: The Murder of Jazz
ISBN: 9780306809255 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Once a thriving body of innovative and fluid music, jazz is now the victim of destructive professional and artistic forces, says Eric Nisenson. Corruption by marketers, appropriation by the mainstream, superficial media portrayal, and sheer lack of skill have all contributed to the demise of this venerable art form. Nisenson persuasively describes how the entire jazz "industry" is controlled by a select cadre with a choke hold on the most vital components of the music. As the listening culture has changed, have spontaneity and improvisation been sacrificed? You can agree or disagree with...

Sonny Rollins is one of jazz's great innovators, arguably the most influential tenor saxophonist, along with John Coltrane, in the history of modern jazz.

Still active today, Rollins and his compelling sound...
