(Keyboard Instruction). Legendary jazz pianist Oscar Peterson has
long been devoted to the education of piano students. In this book
he offers dozens of pieces designed to empower the student, whether
novice or classically trained, with the technique needed to become
an accomplished jazz pianist.
'Any book on my life would start with my basic philosophy of
fighting racial prejudice. I loved jazz, and jazz was my way of
doing that,' Norman Granz told Tad Hershorn during the final
interviews given for this book. Granz, who died in 2001, was
iconoclastic, independent, immensely influential, often thoroughly
unpleasant - and one of jazz's true giants. Granz played an
essential part in bringing jazz to audiences around the world,
defying racial and social prejudice as he did so, and demanding
that African-American performers be treated equally everywhere they
toured. In this definitive biography, Hershorn recounts Granz's
story: creator of the legendary jam session concerts known as Jazz
at the Philharmonic; founder of the Verve record label; pioneer of
live recordings and worldwide jazz concert tours; manager and
recording producer for numerous stars, including Ella Fitzgerald
and Oscar Peterson.
