Addressed to specialists and fans alike, all volumes include feature articles, book reviews, and unpublished photographs. This 14th issue contains four intriguing articles that to some degree contravene accepted precepts of jazz orthodoxy. John Howland traces the connection between Duke Ellington's extended works and the 'symphonic jazz' model of the 1920s as exemplified by Paul Whiteman and his chief arranger, Ferde GrofZ. Horace J. Maxile Jr. takes an unfashionably broad perspective of Charles Mingus's 'Ecclusiastics,' applying recent developments in cultural theory as well as the formal tools of traditional music theory. Brian Priestley's exploration of the ties between Charlie Parker and popular music challenges the canonical depiction of Parker as a lone revolutionary genius, instead underscoring the saxophonist's ties to the popular music of his time. Finally, John Wriggle presents an extensive examination of the life and work of arranger Chappie Willet, an unsung hero of the Swing Era. The book reviews cover a cross-section of the burgeoning jazz literature, and Vincent Pelote has again compiled a list of books received at the Institute of Jazz Studies.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 222mmItem Length: 152mmItem Width: 14mmItem Weight: 376gContributor: George Bassett (Edited by), Dan Morgenstern (Edited by), Edward Berger (Edited by), Evan Spring (Edited by), Henry Martin (Edited by)Genre: Music Dance & TheatreBook Series: Annual Review of Jazz StudiesAuthor: George BassettRelease Year: 2009 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
