Musicologist and jazz fan Pascal Anquetil talks about the jazzmen who make him tick. Seventy outstanding jazz figures are reviewed. The author of this new Bible proposes an astonishing classification by genre. Eight genres, as follows: The Decisive Geniuses, The Master Singers, The World Builders, The Virtuosos of Happiness, The Fallen Angels of Lyricism, The Bachelor Masters, The Leaders and finally, The Intimate Musicians.<br \/>\nIn the Decisive Geniuses : Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Django Reinhardt, Th\u00e9lonious Monk, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Bill Evans. All these performers brought their own breath, their own touch, their own sound, their own innovation, their own imprint, their own conception of jazz. They are also, each in the genre that made them famous, founding fathers, immutable references in the musical world. Without claiming to be encyclopedic, &#8220;Legendary Jazz Portraits&#8221; will please the most demanding fans with its rigorous information and accurate musicological analysis, and will appeal to neophytes often (wrongly) put off by &#8220;the most popular of learned musics&#8221; thanks to its inspired style. The full-page, black-and-white photos enhance the 70 legends, with French musicians coming into their own: Louiss, Grappelli, Petrucciani, Solal&#8230;<br \/>\nIn short, a book that brings back great memories of listening to music, and that&#8217;s good for you.        <\/p>\n<p>Legendary jazz portraits<br \/>\nPascal Anquetil<br \/>\nTana \u00e9ditions<br \/>\n45 euros<br \/>\nCurrently in bookshops<\/p>\n<p>Julien Tissot<br \/>\njulien@luxsure.fr<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Legendary jazz portraits: 70 geniuses in black and white Right from the cover, the portrait of John Coltrane, one of the masters of jazz, leads us to believe that we&#8217;re&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":65,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[30094],"tags":[59002,59000,59004,58996,58999,59003,58997,59001,58998],"class_list":["post-2005566","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-culture-en","tag-charlie-parker","tag-django-reinhardt","tag-john-coltrane","tag-legendary-jazz-portraits","tag-louis-armstrong","tag-miles-davis","tag-pascal-anquetil","tag-thelonious-monk","tag-uke-ellington"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2005566","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/65"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2005566"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2005566\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2005566"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2005566"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2005566"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
