{"product_id":"the-great-jazz-pianists-speaking-of-their-lives-and-music-9780306803437","title":"The Great Jazz Pianists: Speaking of Their Lives and Music","description":"This comprehensive survey of jazz piano, beginning with a brief history of the instrument within the jazz tradition and concluding with interviews that present twenty-seven pianists in their own words, is both wonderfully anecdotal and a serious piece of jazz history. Lyons has assembled a giant concert of piano voices--Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock, Teddy Wilson, Oscar Peterson, Keith Jarrett, Randy Weston, Cecil Taylor, Horace Silver, Dave Brubeck, Sun Ra, McCoy Tyner, Toshiko Akiyoshi, Chick Corea, and many others. The pianists are candid, intense, and always opinionated. Yet their responses are infused with a keen appreciation for fellow musicians, their contemporaries, and those who came before--Walter, Tatum, Ellington. For pianists everywhere, whatever their individual style, this book will speak to and for you as it expresses the thoughts of its many great artists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Da Capo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/1989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780306803437\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 321\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.94h x 6.00w x 0.85d","brand":"Len Lyons,Leonard S.
