Jazz is thriving in the twenty-first century, and "The New Face of
Jazz" is an intimate, illustrated guide to the artists, venues, and
festivals of today's jazz scene. This book celebrates the living
legends, current stars, and faces of tomorrow as they continue to
innovate and expand the boundaries of this great musical legacy.
In their own words, artists such as McCoy Tyner, Arturo Sandoval,
Diane Schuur, Terence Blanchard, Charlie Hunter, Nicholas Payton,
George Benson, Maria Schneider, Christian McBride, Randy Brecker,
Jean-Luc Ponty, Joe Lovano, Lee Ritenour, and more than 100 others
share intimately about their beginnings, musical training,
inspiration, and hard-earned lessons, creating a fascinating mosaic
of the current jazz community.
Photographer Ned Radinsky contributes 40 amazing black-and-white
portraits of these musicians doing what they do best--playing. An
appendix offers resources for jazz education; an exclusive reading
list; and the lowdown on those organizations and societies doing
their part to promote jazz as a living, breathing art form.
With an introductory word from Wynton Marsalis, a foreword by
Marcus Miller, and an afterword by Sonny Rollins, "The New Face of
Jazz" is an unprecedented window onto today's world of jazz, for
everyone from the devotee to the new listener.
