Recensione:
Electric. . . . This is a must for anyone who has ever been drawn to a scat by Ella or a riff from Miles or who has whirled around the dance floor courtesy of Count Basie. The passion for jazz shared by this book's creators emanates from every page - and it's contagious.

WYNTON MARSALIS, trumpeter, composer, and tireless champion of the art of jazz, has been instrumental in bringing the musical genre back to center stage in the United States. The first jazz musician to win a Pulitzer Prize in music — for his epic oratorio on slavery, BLOOD IN THE FIELDS — he has won nine Grammy awards for his jazz and classical recordings, which have sold nearly five million copies worldwide. Wynton Marsalis serves as artistic director for the renowned Jazz at Lincoln Center program in New York, where he created the popular series Jazz for Young People. A recipient of numerous awards around the world as well as several honorary degrees, he was named one of America's "25 Most Influential People" by TIME magazine. JAZZ A B Z is Wynton Marsalis's first book for children.
PAUL ROGERS has worked as an illustrator for twenty years. An ardent admirer of the great poster artists of the twentieth century, he has created everything from old-fashioned billboard portraits at Dodger Stadium to vintage-style neon signs. A longtime jazz buff, he says that one of the best things about being an illustrator is working on jazz-related projects, including prints and program covers for jazz festivals. Recently he was commissioned to create a limited-edition silkscreen portrait of Wynton Marsalis for the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. JAZZ A B Z is Paul Rogers's first book.

Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: New. No Jacket. Rogers, Paul (illustratore). 1st Edition. First edition 2005, 1st printing. Pristine, clean & tight copy, unread in NEW condition. "In a swinging improvisation with poster artist Paul Rogers, Wynton Marsalis celebrates the spirit of 26 stellar jazz performers, from Armstrong to Dizzy---and showcases the same number of poetic forms. A is for 'almighty' Louis Armstrong, whose amazing artistry unfolds in an accumulative poem shaped like the letter he stands for. As for sax master Sonny Rollins, whose 'robust style radiates roundness,' could there be a better tribute than a poetic rondeau? In an extraordinary feat, Pulitzer Prize-winning jazz composer Wynton Marsalis harmonizes his love and knowledge of jazz's most celebrated artists with an astounding diversity of poetic forms---from simple blues (Count Basie) to a complex pantoum (Charlie Parker), from a tender sonnet (Sarah Vaughan) to a performance poem snapping the rhythms of Art Blakey to life." Attractive & bright copy; no dust jacket as issued; perfectly presentable & collectible. Codice articolo RUB636
