Through 35 portraits of jazzmen, Editions Tana has decided to retrace the genesis of this generous, free-spirited music in their new book: Portraits de Jazz.
A long series of tragic or euphoric individual journeys, the history of jazz is beautiful and rebellious. Ella Fitzgerald, Keith Jarret, Armstrong and Chet Baker are all examined in detail by musicologist and author Pascal Anquetil(On Jazz , Le petit livre à offrir aux amateurs de jazz), who introduces us to the icons who have created the legend of this distinctive, multi-faceted music.
The book introduces us to these intertwined destinies through an original 7-chapter structure featuring “decisive geniuses” and “leaders”, as well as “virtuosos of happiness” and “fallen angels of lyricism”. This magnificent work is also illustrated with superb black-and-white photographs that perfectly capture the emotion this music can convey.
An ideal gift for a musical getaway this summer.
