Jazz clarinetist, saxophonist, and bassoonist Garvin Bushell
(1902-1991) performed with many of the twentieth century's greatest
jazz musicians,from Fletcher Henderson, Fats Waller, and Cab
Calloway to Eric Dolphy, Gil Evans, and John Coltrane,during his
remarkable career that spanned from 1916 to the 1980s. Although
best known as a jazz soloist and sideman, Bushell also played oboe
and bassoon with symphony orchestras and was a highly regarded
instructor of woodwinds. In Jazz from the Beginning , Bushell
vividly recounts his musical experiences, featuring candid
assessments of the legends with whom he performed as well as
eye-opening accounts of the early days of jazz and the racism that
he encountered on the road. Based on a series of interviews
conducted by jazz scholar Mark Tucker, these memoirs provide a
colourful account of Bushell's extraordinary life and career as
well as an important record of seventy years of America's musical
history.
