Description
Eight vignettes bring to life the lives of the players who shaped modern jazz. Geoff Dyer's prose mirrors the quirks, eccentricity, and brilliance of each musician's style, evoking the embattled lives of those who created this unique music.
Through a combination of photos, anecdotes, and vivid prose, Dyer explores the world of jazz, revealing the complexities and passions of its most influential figures. The result is a book that is both a tribute to the music and a meditation on its power to shape our lives.
