A Living Jazz Legend, musician and composer David Baker has made
a distinctive mark on the world of music in his nearly 60-year
career as player (chiefly on trombone and cello), composer, and
educator. In this richly illustrated volume, Monika Herzig explores
Baker s artistic legacy, from his days as a jazz musician in
Indianapolis to his long-term gig as Distinguished Professor and
Chairman of the Jazz Studies department at Indiana University.
Baker s credits are striking: in the 1960s he was a member of
George Russell s "out there" sextet and orchestra; by the 1980s he
was in the jazz educator s hall of fame. His compositions have been
recorded by performers as diverse as Dexter Gordon and Janos
Starker, the Beaux Arts Trio, the Composer s String Quartet and the
Czech Philharmonic. Featuring enlightening interviews with Baker
and a CD of unreleased recordings and Baker compositions, this book
brings a jazz legend into clear view."
