Evgeny Kissin's musicality, the depth and poetic quality of his
interpretations, and his extraordinary virtuosity have earned him
the veneration and admiration deserved only by one of the most
gifted classical pianists of his generation. He is internationally
renowned and hugely admired for his interpretations of the works of
the classical and Romantic repertoire of Beethoven, Schubert,
Chopin, Liszt, Schumann, Brahms, Rachmaninov and Prokofiev. He is
in demand the world over, and has appeared with many of the world's
great conductors, as well as all the great orchestras of the world.
In Memoirs and Reflections, the intensity of Kissin's thinking and
of his very being shines through, which displays his astonishing
memory, fondness for his family and teachers, and an exalted sense
of self that is essentially Russian.

Radio and television broadcasts are an essential component in the
career of jazz musician Thomas "Fats" Waller. The medium suited his
character well, allowing his friendly, energetic personality to
shine through. This book meticulously documents Waller's on-air
appearances: from his first known broadcast in 1923 at age 19 to
the final airing before his premature death in 1943. Fats Waller On
The Air: The Radio Broadcasts and Discography adds another
dimension to the life of this dynamic performer. Author Stephen
Taylor combines established material with fresh research, resulting
in a wealth of new information. The broadcasts, including tributes
to Waller after his death, are covered in detail, featuring dates,
times, songs played, and other artists who appeared on the program.
Through descriptions from contemporary newspapers and magazines,
accounts from individuals who were in attendance, and remarks by
radio announcers from original transcripts, the book provides
historical perspective and a clear sense of the character and feel
of the broadcasts. The book also offers a timechart of early sound
recording and radio transcriptions, allowing easy comparison of
Waller's presence in the field. Never before published photos and a
thorough, accurate discography-including 78 and 45 rpm records,
transcriptions, LPs, CDs, and DVDs-make this an important reference
tool for fans of Fats Waller, jazz music, stride piano, black
social history, and broadcast history.
