To call Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers a "hard bop academy" is no exaggeration.And though the writing is fairly lucid and engaging, ultimately, more could have been said.Many of the musicians featured here have been profiled in jazz magazines like Down Beat and Cadence, but this is the first book dedicated to the Messengers.Recommended with some reservation to jazz collections in public and academic libraries.Blakey was not only a distinguished, inventive and powerful drummer, but along with Duke Ellington and Miles Davis, he was one of jazz's foremost talent scouts.Though their respective innovations were vital to the evolution of bebop, hard bop and neo bop, the recorded work of the Messengers sidemen has never been properly analyzed.Hard Bop Academy: The Sidemen of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers critically examines the multitude of gifted artists who populated the many editions of the Jazz Messengers.In addition to dissecting the sidemen's most consequential work with Blakey's band, jazz musician and acclaimed novelist Alan Goldsher offers up engaging profiles of everyone from Wynton Marsalis to Terence Blanchard to Hank Mobley to Wayne Shorter to Horace Silver to Keith Jarrett to Curtis Fuller to Steve Davis.Goldsher conducted over 30 interviews with surviving graduates of Blakey's Hard Bop Academy, many of whom spoke at length of their tenure with the legendary "Buhaina" for the first time.His writing has been published in Bass Player, Tower Pulse, Sport and BasketBull: Chicago Bulls Magazine.Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images?For now, it'll only be available in the U.Naomi Braver is a rock 'n' roll goddess.Not bad for a born and bred Brooklyn girl who used to have trouble getting any boys to kiss her.Before they became stars, Naomi and her oldest and dearest friend, the sexy, charismatic pianist Jenn Bradford, performed to small but adoring audiences at a tiny Manhattan cafe.Travis and drummer extraordinaire Frank Craft.Alan Goldsher has delivered an authentic, compelling, hilarious novel peppered with insider insights about the enigmatic entertainment industry.The True Naomi Story is the story of a passionate, prodigiously talented young woman and her brave effort to balance newfound success with lifelong friendship and unexpected love.Isaac Brock, the lead singer of the popular rock band, wants to beat the shit out of him.Why would the lead singer of a group that's sold over a million records in the last three years want to pummel a poor little scribe?November through Thomas Dunne Books and, according to the author, has sold over 5,000 copies so far.I'm going to fuck that guy up.Without being able to get face time with the group, Goldsher wrote the book almost exclusively based on previously published material from other media outlets.It says on my Web site and the back of the book that I'm from Chicago.ART BLAKEY was not only one of the most important drummers in jazz, but one of the best bandleaders as well.Art of Jazz: Essays on the Development and Nature of Jazz (Roots of Jazz)
