| Description: |
Martin Williams is one of the most perceptive and entertaining jazz critics writing in America today. This collection of pieces on the past, present, and future of the jazz idiom includes profiles of Sidney Bechet, Ornette Coleman, and Miles Davis, an assessment of jazz-rock fusion, and a look at the pressures placed on musicians and their music by commercialism. |
| Synopsis: |
From brief profiles of musicians to serious academic pieces, Martin Williams has been perceptively chronicling the development of jazz for over three decades. In this, his newest collection of jazz writings, Williams brings together many of his best pieces and covers new ground, with short critiques on, among others, Teddy Wilson (favorable) and George Winston (unfavorable). A longer article, "How Long Has This Been Going On?, " examines developments in jazz during the past twenty years and the current state of the music. Also included are a series of short essays considering the musicianship of jazz greats from Sidney Bechet to Ornette Coleman, Lionel Hampton, Lee Konitz, Art Farmer, and others. Together, these works provide an insightful overview of the development of jazz past and present. |
