Bump to spine heel; top corner creased, affecting first few pages. Text block edges just starting to tan. Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. This ground-breaking biography considers Sun Ra's music as much as his passionate, often wildly unorthodox views on the galaxy, black people and spiritual matters. With the various incarnations of his inimitable Arkestra, his repertoire ranged from boogie-woogie to swing to be-bop to fusion to New Age, and his influence extended throughout the jazz and rock worlds. While Sun Ra made a lifelong effort to obscure many of the facts of his early years, he did acknowledge that he was born on the planet Saturn.

Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. No Jacket. Special Edition. Advance Reader's Copy of Uncorrected Proofs of First Edition, 1st printing, in paperback. "Anyone interested in learning about a distinctly American music---jazz---will welcome this addition to the popular 101 reference series. Jazz may not be America's only original art form, but it is the quintessential American music. Noted anthropologist, critic, and musical scholar John F. Szwed takes readers on a tour of the music's tangled history and explores how it developed from an ethnic music to become America's most popular music and then part of the avant grade in less than fifty years. JAZZ 101 presents key figures, history, theory, and controversies that shaped its development, along with a discussion of some of its most important recordings. It offers insightful commentary on how jazz helped shape 20th-century American painting, film, poetry, dance, fiction, pop and classical music, and the consciousness of what it means to be American." Bright, clean & tight ARC copy, unread, in FINE condition, w/sharp corners & crisp edges, no creases in spine & no jacket as issued.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Miles Davi was one of the crucial influences in the developement of modern jazz. His Kind of Blue is an automatic inclusion in any critic's list of the great jazz albums, the one record people who own no other jzz records possess, and still sells 250,000 copies a year in the US alone. But Miles regularly changed styles, leaving his inimitable impact on many forms of jazz, whether he created them or simply developed the work of others, from modal jazz to be-bop, his seminal quintet and his big band work to the jazz funk experiments of later years. Miles not only knew and worked with everyone who was anyone in jazz, from Coltrane to Monk, he was a friend of Sartre's, lover of Juliet Greco and musical collaborator with musicians who ranged from Stockhausen to Hendrix.John Swzed is uniquely well-qualified to do justice to Miles, both in terms of his impact on jazz, and as one of the great Black Americans: as political figure, icon and archetypal cool dude. His book fills in the gaps left by myth-making about Miles' life - both by Miles himself and by his previous biographers - telling the story of his childhood, his depressions and his relationship with heroin as well as the more familiar public career. 488 pages.
