Summary
This book contains intimate conversations with some of the world's greatest musical figures. Dizzy Gillespie offers his thoughts on playing with "sanctified rhythm" and the all-important personal touch in performance. Duke Ellington discourses on jazz history and concludes an interview to sing a self-written ditty in Italian. Ray Charles gives candid thoughts on race and politics. Others include Abbey Lincoln, Max Roach, Horace Silver, and Bill Evans. The result is a collection of profiles that reveal these performers in ways that illuminates their humanity and expands our appreciation of their art.
