About this listen
Jazz is a relatively new art form. It's melodic and harmonic language has evolved throughout the past 100 years from one great innovator passing on his discoveries to the next as a kind of artistic baton passing. The piano has always lead the harmonic language of jazz, so in order to truly understand the evolution of this music, one must understand the lineage of the music's greatest piano players. In this book, Richie Beirach provides his incisive and at times inside knowledge of these 10 great piano players who defined the language of jazz. Part history, part technical exploration, and part candid observations you won't find anywhere else, The Lineage of Modern Jazz Piano is a concise overview of the ten men who through their talent and courage, defined jazz. For each, Richie identifies three essential albums that best reflect the greatness in these artists.
©2021 Music Savvy (P)2021 Music SavvyThis book gives a jazz enthusiast and accessible, articulate set of essays and a map through the world of modern jazz piano from Art Tatum on.
Each short chachapter ends with the names of three recommend albums. Today I listened to the three recommended Paul Bley albums, and I have a whole new appreciation of a pianist I knew less well than Keith Jarrett.
