Description
Pianists occupy a unique place in the story of jazz. Above all, piano jazz is about the individuals who have made their own contributions to the style. In this collection, Alyn Shipton draws together conversations with many of the key practitioners, spanning the period from the birth of bebop to the present. --From book jacket.
First Sentence
With her cascade of silvery blonde hair, her energetic presence conducting her big band, and the studied air she brings to her keyboard playing, Carla Bley is one of the most distinctive and immediately recognizable figures in contemporary jazz.
