Description: Jazz Revolutionary by Jonathon Grasse Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Jazz Revolutionary: The Life & Music Of Eric Dolphy examines the recordings and collaborations of a true American original who blazed an uncompromising musical trail before his death at thirty-six. Publisher Description Jazz Revolutionary is the first full biography of Eric Dolphy, passionately tracing his creative life from Los Angeles clubs of the late 1940s and 50s, to New York in the early 1960s, and on to Paris, where sixty years ago he died from the complications of undiagnosed diabetes. It presents an engaging examination of this innovative musician and composer, from his family background to posthumous memorials, and provides insight into his recordings both as sideman and leader.Dolphy emerged at the frontiers of post-bop and free jazz, collaborating with John Coltrane, Charles Mingus, Ornette Coleman, and Gunther Schuller, among others, during the early 1960s. This book accounts for his successes, trials, and tribulations. His critical reception is presented as an element of his careers ups and downs, ultimately leading to an attempt at a new life in Paris. The albums on which he appears are interpreted title by title, track by track, without unnecessary musical terminology or musical examples; instead of cold discographic charts, readers are brought into each recording with a descriptive prose framework reflecting Dolphys performances on alto saxophone, flute, and bass clarinet.Eric Dolphy was perhaps jazzs first true multi-instrumentalist and a pioneer of avant-garde technique. He is also widely remembered by those who knew him as a kind, gracious human being. In Jazz Revolutionary, his artistic accomplishments, his friendships and family life, and his timeless music are brought together in one place for the first time.
