Johnny Griffin, the Little Giant from the South Side of Chicago,
has remained a top jazz saxophonist throughout his 62-year playing
career. He has spent 42 years in Europe and is recognized
internationally as a major jazz star with a readily identifiable
style, an immense improvisational flair and an unfailing capacity
to swing. As jazz writer Brian Priestley has observed: Griffin is
one of the fastest and most accurate ever on his instrument.
Griffin is an articulate, witty and entertaining conversationalist
with an unending flow of anecdotal reminiscences about his days
with Lionel Hampton, Art Blakey, Thelonious Monk, Eddie Lockjaw
Davis, the Clarke Boland Big Band and the variety of small groups
he has fronted over the years. The Little Giant is a light-hearted,
irreverent and uninhibited look at the life of one of the most
consummate musicians in jazz. Author Mike Hennessey is a jazz
critic, producer, broadcaster and pianist. Other books by him
include a biography of the late drummer, Kenny Clarke, Klook, and a
history of Ronnie Scott's Club, Some of My Best Friends Are Blues.
He has covered the international music scene for Billboard magazine
for 27 years and he has written more than 500 album notes and
hundreds of articles for a wide range of jazz magazines in North
America and Europe."
The Highland bagpipe has long been a central strand of Scottish
identity, but what happened to the Highland bagpipe in the two
centuries following Culloden? How was its music transmitted and
received? This study presents contemporary evidence and uses a
range of methods to recreate the changing world of the pipers as
they influenced and were influenced by the transformation in
Scottish society. This book is intended for pipers exploring the
achievements and musical concerns of their predecessors; for the
general reader interested in a music whose history is akin to that
of Scotland's poetry and song; and for all students of the process
of tradition.Combining newspaper and manuscript evidence from the
pipers themselves with a wide range of historical sources, the
author harnesses the insights of the practical player to those of
the historian and provides a fresh account of the players and their
musical traditions, which have previously been the subject of much
myth-making. This is the first history of the musical culture of
the worldwide piping community.
