His prose is inviting and often playful. Most valuable is the extensive catalogue of recommendations, not just of the genre's top performers but of 150 contemporary jazz musicians--a list that new fans can use to kickstart their journey, and experienced ones can reference to keep up with the form's continuing evolution."--Publishers Weekly. "HOW TO LISTEN TO JAZZ is a fresh, clearly written and infinitely usable book that should put the jazz novice on track."--Library Journal. "This book does what so many have tried to and failed: it teaches without preaching and empowers the reader to search for their own understanding and preferences. It's a welcome and needed addition to everyone's bookshelf."--Institute of Jazz Studies. Pristine & handy hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in an intact as new jacket. Artikel-Nr. RUB2795
