The Music and Life of Theodore "Fats" Navarro: Infatuation is the
first comprehensive study of the jazz trumpeter Theodore "Fats"
Navarro. It provides biographical and discographical information on
this talented musician, whose premature death from tuberculosis at
26 robbed the jazz world of his brilliance. Through an analysis of
his recorded legacy, this book offers new perspectives on Navarro's
role in the history and emergence of Bebop. Through years of study
and collecting ephemera, some of which is reprinted here, Leif Bo
Petersen and Theo Rehak depict an inclusive history of Navarro and
his music. Their information is based on interviews with musicians
and people in the music business, contemporary newspaper and
magazine articles, and the music itself, which has not been
commonly known or described until now. The book features images,
musical examples, and depictions of Navarro's recordings, and it
provides several appendixes, including explanations of contemporary
recording techniques and discographical terms, lists of Navarro's
recordings and compositions, and a chronological overview of
Navarro's performances, recording sessions, and engagements.
Complete with a comprehensive list of sources and a full index,
this volume presents a host of new and useful information for
anyone interested in jazz and its history.
