He started out in the slums of LA with nothing, and he ended up on top of the game in the speakeasies and nightclubs of New York. But while talent and drive are all you need to make it in music, they aren’t enough to make it through a life. Dorothy Baker's Young Man with a Horn is widely regarded as the first jazz novel, and it pulses with the music that defined an era. Baker took her inspiration from the artistry - though not the life - of legendary horn player Bix Beiderbecke, and the novel went on to be adapted into a successful movie starring Kirk Douglas, Lauren Bacall, and Doris Day. October 1. 0: Morning Glory: A Biography of Mary Lou Williams                    by Linda Dahl.

In a time when the music of Harlem was beginning to stake a claim on the racially mixed Greenwich Village clientele, Williams, a young black pianist, trained her sights on a more classical venue. In 1. 94. 7 she reached it, leading Carnegie Hall's New York Philharmonic in a boogie- woogie symphony of her own composition. Williams began her jazz career as a teenager accompany orchestras by ear. She soon taught herself to read and write music and gained a reputation as a masterful arranger. Her influence on the evolution of jazz spanned four decades from ragtime to bop, and can be heard in the works of jazz giants from to Duke Ellington to Charlie Parker. Many musicians attribute her genius, but lasting popular recognition has eluded her. Dahl's (Stormy Weather) narrative, while well researched, lacks the vibrancy needed to launch Williams to the fame she nearly obtained and so clearly deserves.

Using a plethora of quotations, Dahl reconstructs Williams' evolution as a prodigy, a mystic, a bohemian, and a religious convert, but she offers little insight into Williams' character: Dahl tells us that Williams was she, but follows with stories of a very sassy nature; she announces that Williams' telepathic gift haunted her throughout her life, but offers scarce anecdotal evidence. Nonetheless, Dahl's comprehensive appendixes of discography, compositions, and arrangements are a boon to jazz scholars, and despite its defects, this biography remains an important step toward recognizing the achievements of a remarkable woman. November 1. 4: Kind of Blue: The Making of the Miles Davis Masterpiece   by Ashley Kahn. Please follow the link below to a review of this book: https: //www.

December 1. 3: Blues People by Le. Roi Jones (Amiri Baraka) "The path the slave took to 'citizenship' is what I want to look at. And I make my analogy through the slave citizen's music - - through the music that is most closely associated with him: blues and a later, but parallel development, jazz.. If] the Negro represents, or is symbolic of, something in and about the nature of American culture, this certainly should be revealed by his characteristic music."So says Amiri Baraka in the Introduction to Blues People, his classic work on the place of jazz and blues in American social, musical, economic, and cultural history.

From the music of African slaves in the United States through the music scene of the 1. Baraka traces the influence of what he calls "negro music" on white America - - not only in the context of music and pop culture but also in terms of the values and perspectives passed on through the music. In tracing the music, he brilliantly illuminates the influence of African Americans on American culture and history. February 1. 3: The Bear Comes Home by Rafi Zabor. The hero of this sensational first novel is an alto- sax virtuoso trying to evolve a personal style out of Coltrane and Rollins. He also happens to be a walking, talking, Blake- and Shakespeare- quoting bear whose musical, spiritual, and romantic adventures add up to perhaps the best novel, ursine or human, ever written about jazz. Poignant and touching moments combine with hilarious descriptions of the bear's struggle in a story that anyone ― whether familiar with jazz or not ― will find compelling and entertaining."―David Amram, Los Angeles Times Book Review "Zabor's knack for detail makes the absurd premise believable .

The New Yorker "In fluent, witty prose Zabor conveys with remarkable vividness the texture of group improvisation. It swings."―A. O. Scott, New York Newsday "Sometimes you get the bear and sometimes the bear gets you. Get the Bear."―David Nicholson, Washington Post "Zabor . He also displays a mean wit."―New York Times Book Review Los Angeles Times Book Review's 1. Best Books of 1. 99.

Winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction. March 1. 3: Traps: The Drum Wonder, The Life of Buddy Rich                   by Mel Torme. Now back in print, this bestseller by Mel Torme is a brilliant biography of his friend for forty years, Buddy Rich, who was one of the most famous drummers of the Swing Era, having starred in the Artie Shaw and Tommy Dorsey bands. His career started when he was two years old in his parents' Vaudeville act, and by the time he was four he was the highest paid child performer in the world. The Buddy Rich story is a fascinating one, as much for what it says about the world of American music and entertainment as for the remarkable life it portrays.

Drawing from interviews and many personal reminiscences, Torme packs this biography with vivid, often funny, anecdotes. His personal touch and his in- depth knowledge of jazz make for a moving, insightful, and often hilarious biography.
