SynopsisA collection of essays, biographical profiles, and critical analyses by one of the twentieth century's leading jazz writers includes commentary on the work of jazz entertainers and an assessment of the role of jazz in contemporary culture and its influence on modern music., A must have book for all jazz afficionados and fans alike. Here, Dan Morgenstern, winner of six Grammys and director of the Institute of Jazz Studies, brings together all of his significant work in one volume. He scrutinises the careers of jazz's most iconic figures, among them Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington. An astute observer and a charismatic narrator, Morgenstern offers particularly sensitive and in-depth accounts of the greats of the genre. The enduring impact of his writing and the sheer impact of his oeuvre make Living with Jazz an essential book.
