Between 1972 and 1987, freelance teacher and music journalist Roland Baggenæs conducted a series of interviews with jazz musicians for CODA magazine. Upon recently re-discovering the interviews, he was once again fascinated by the enthusiasm of the musicians and their profound dedication to their chosen profession. Jazz Greats Speak: Interviews with Master Musicians brings those fascinating discussions into one bound volume. Such jazz artists as Lee Konitz, Mary Lou Williams, Dexter Gordon, Red Rodney, Stanley Clarke, and John Tchicai talk about their art, how they got interested in playing jazz, their influences, and about the many different musicians with whom they worked. The interviewees openly relate in their own words what jazz means to them and, in some cases, share their viewpoints on politics, religion, and their social life and conditions as a jazz artist in America or elsewhere. The book covers a wide area of jazz but emphasizes the period from the early 1940s into the 1960s. In their entirety, the interviews give an insight into the development of jazz, from the early days of the 1920s, over the formative 1940s and 1950s, and up to the new trends of the 1980s. Complete with a beautiful selection of photographs, brief biographies of each participant, and an index, this volume will appeal to lovers of jazz, students of jazz, and anyone interested in finding out what jazz and its corresponding lifestyle is about.

A woman in jazz. How was she treated on- and offstage? What was it like to play with Dizzy Gillespie or Charlie Parker? What was the breakthrough moment in her career? How did she balance her personal and professional life? In six illuminating interviews, female jazz musicians answer these questions and more, discussing the challenges of being a woman in a scene historically dominated by men. Jazzwomen Speak gathers the voices of women whose careers highlight the bebop and post-bop era of jazz, as they share stories of their musical training and entrance into the jazz world, relationships and encounters with other musicians, limitations on the bandstand and in the recording studio, and how being a female musician has formed their musical performances over time.

Jazz Spoken Here is a collection of informal yet revealing interviews with twenty-two major figures from the world of jazz. Compiled by Wayne Enstice and Paul Rubin, two jazz enthusiasts who ask the kinds of questions fans of the music everywhere would love to pose to their favorite musicians, the book gets to the heart of the jazz life. Dave Brubeck, Ray Bryant, Mercer Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, Chico Hamilton, Henry Threadgill, and sixteen others reflect on their early influences and personal visions, the jazz tradition, and the politics of survival in a country that has historically ignored one of its indigenous art forms. Especially valuable are the interviews with those who have died in the recent past: Art Blakey, Bill Evans, Gil Evans, Charles Mingus, Sonny Stitt, and Gabor Szabo. The musicians represent diverse generations and philosophies and a full range of styles, from swing and mainstream to bop, fusion, and free-jazz. They speak with eloquence about their work and with candor about the current state of music in America. All the performers emerge as natural story-tellers. Through these interviews readers will gain a sense of what the life of a jazz musician is truly like as well as a profound respect for the musicians' rock-solid commitment to their craft - a commitment made all the more remarkable because of the neglect and bigotry with which many of them have had to contend throughout their careers. Each interview is preceded by a brief biographical introduction and concludes with a selected discography. Musicians and nonmusicians alike - anyone, in fact, who cares about American music - should read Jazz Spoken Here. This is music history of the very best kind - the kindthat makes readers want to seek out the music.

JAZZ IN THE KEY OF LIGHT is not your typical fine art photography book. In addition to visually capturing a variety of the world's jazz greats in performance or moments of personal reflection, author Ken Franckling paired the images with essential quotes from interviews he conducted with those same musicians in assignments for a variety of mainstream and music publications. The spotlighted musicians, some captured in historically important images, range from legends Dave Brubeck, Miles Davis and Sarah Vaughan to a variety of today's rising stars, including Nicki Parrott, Gregory Porter and Miguel Zenón.

More than fifty years ago, John Coltrane drew the twelve musical notes in a circle and connected them by straight lines, forming a five-pointed star. Inspired by Einstein, Coltrane put physics and geometry at the core of his music. Physicist and jazz musician Stephon Alexander follows suit, using jazz to answer physics' most vexing questions about the past and future of the universe. Following the great minds that first drew the links between music and physics-a list including Pythagoras, Kepler, Newton, Einstein, and Rakim-The Jazz of Physics reveals that the ancient poetic idea of the Music of the Spheres," taken seriously, clarifies confounding issues in physics. The Jazz of Physics will fascinate and inspire anyone interested in the mysteries of our universe, music, and life itself.
