Description

The piano has royal status among jazz instruments because the pianist can lay melody, harmony, & rhythm all at once. This book explores the innovations of such brilliant players as Earl Hines, Art Tatum, Teddy Wilson, Mary Lou Williams, Thelonious Monk, Bud Powell, Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock, Cecil Taylor, McCoy Tyner, & countless others. It also explores the artists who continue to experiment with new sounds, making jazz a true living music. Author Leslie Gourse won an ASCAP award in 1991 for a series of articles on women that led to her book “Madame Jazz.” Photos.
