London-based musician and journalist Gordon Jack's method is to let
the musicians tell their own stories with minimum intervention, in
the manner of Ira Gitler's classic Swing to Bop. Famous or obscure,
these more than 30 musicians who came to prominence in the 1950s
each has a story to tell, and Jack captures the style and tone of
his interviewees in this oral retrospective of what may have been
jazz's last golden age. The musicians are: Gene Allen, Mose
Allison, Dave Bailey, Chuck Berghofer, Eddie Bert, Bob Brookmeyer,
Pete Christlieb, Bill Crow, Joe Dodge, Bob Enevoldsen, Don Ferrara,
Herb Geller, Corky Hale, Peter Ind, Frank Isola, Lee Konitz, Stan
Levey, Jack Montrose, Gerry Mulligan, the Gerry Mulligan Quartet
(with Larry Bunker, Chico Hamilton, Carson Smith, Bob Whitlock),
Lennie Niehaus, Jack Nimitz, Hod O'Brien, Bill Perkins, Bud Shank,
Phil Urso, and Phil Woods. Jack's introductions and notes
unobtrusively sketch out the life and achievements of each
musician, and there are photographs of each one, many of them taken
by Jack himself.
